To: 'eevacation mail.com '[email protected]]; Jeffrey [email protected]] From: on behalf of Ben Goertzel Sent: Tue 11/13/2012 12:53:06 AM Subject: Fwd: Kurzweil's How to Create a Mind opens at #1 a mong all books on Barnes & Noble's bestseller list Wow ... Ray Kurzweil's book on AGI (which posits a very simplistic theory that the mind and brain are a Hierarchical Hidden Markov Model) is a best-seller right out of the gate.... Oversimplification really sells. His approach will not work, whereas mine will --- but my approach is too complicated to understand without deep study, whereas his is so simple it has immediate appeal.... Ray has been successful at business and publicity, because "Keep It Simple, Stupid" works well there. Unfortunately this approach will not work as well when it comes to actually creating AGI... -- Ben Forwarded message From: KurzweilAlNetwork, Inc.
