Good idea, Joseph. I'll likely do so.

Bruce - Do any of the new cell based processor architectures lend themselves well for AI, e.g. PSP3, nVidia, etc?

A group of us tried to build some rudimentary AI into NPCs for Neverwinter Nights but the performance was dreadful. I'd guess the same would be true for 2nd Life but they do provide the ability to send SOAP messages to a remote services so that would be one way to hook in more horsepower. Not sure whether the latency of the round trip messaging would ruin the playability factor or not though but I suspect this would be the next challenge.

Nice Demo!

How similar are the pets to the novamente baby?

Hi maestro949... we're currently running on fairly standard hardware, but PSP3 is an attractive possibility. Thanks for the feedback on your AI NPC work.

Hi Cnorwood... fairly similar... w/ both Novababy and Second Life pets "learning" occures w/in the Novamente Cognition Engine on the back end.

The graph I have in mind looks like:

Why is biomedical enhancement a linear function as opposed to exponential? I would think that, as we raise our intelligence biomedically, our ability to self-improve would increase (just like the singularity). I realize that our messy, biological brains are harder to work with than a stream-lined computer program but wouldn't that just serve to shrink the exponent?

Sorry if this has been asked before; I haven't read all 13 pages.

Is the Novamente Cognition Engine parallelizable?
