JayDuggerWould you really want to move to the South Pacific?06:43
JayDuggerAnd if so, have you ever visited a South Pacific Island at all?06:43
JayDugger(Australia doesn't count. Neither does New Zealand.)06:44
JayDugger(Neither does Hawaii, unless you lived there.)06:44
JayDuggerStill, it seems an interesting idea.06:45
JayDuggerI suspect the history of similar isolated  ideological communities (Israeli kibbutz; Mormon settlements in New York, Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Utah, Idaho, Alberta, etc.; early North American European settlements) would have useful parallels.06:46

kanzureever since humanity+ has added me to their "board of spam", er i mean, directors, mailing list, i get emails from ben in intervals of 5min16:19
QuantumGhe says the problem with OpenCog is a lack of funding.. yes, that's why your open source project has no momentum.16:19
kanzurethere's zero communication from humanity+ proper and wta-talk, it's really amazing how separate the worlds are even though they are the same organization16:20

GarethTheGreatQuantumG: what's your precise criticism of opencog?20:35
GarethTheGreati have a few myself, mainly that it's messy - but that applies to a lot of large software projects these days20:36
GarethTheGreatbut it definitely has strong momentum20:36
QuantumGumm.. probably my biggest "criticism" is that it doesn't do anything20:36

GarethTheGreatQuantumG: i see...... i must have missed that one20:37
QuantumGI'm happy to be shown to be wrong on that one.. I'd love to know what it actually does these days.. 20:38
GarethTheGreatQuantumG: it makes a mean reasoning engine and natural language toolkit for one20:39
kanzurewhat about nltk for a natural language toolkit20:39
GarethTheGreatkanzure: easier to get started with, but doesn't work as well as relex with opencog output20:39
GarethTheGreatrelex > opencog > PLN > nlgen20:40
QuantumGok, let me take those two terms you just used.. "engine" and "toolkit" .. with a car engine I can put it in a car and go places.  With a wood working "toolkit" I can make a table.  What's the car and the table analogue  here?20:40
GarethTheGreatQuantumG: you can feed in a knowledge base and ask it questions20:40
QuantumGgreat, has anyone done that?  is there a demo?20:41
GarethTheGreatcogita20:41
GarethTheGreatthe chatbot demo20:41
QuantumG(remember, I haven't looked at it much in the last 2 years)20:41
GarethTheGreatyou haven't looked at it in 2 YEARS?20:41
QuantumGI haven't looked at it *much*20:41

GarethTheGreatQuantumG: i'm just going to drop this here: http://wiki.opencog.org/w/Embodiment20:42
GarethTheGreatVERY VERY messy, but it does some cool stuff (such as throwing a ball and asking it "who threw the ball?")20:43
QuantumGcool, thanks20:44
GarethTheGreathttp://goertzel.org/navigation.mp420:44
GarethTheGreati LOVE that video20:45
GarethTheGreatben claims not a lot more work is needed to get the nao doing immitating learning on the Nao20:46
GarethTheGreatit's already there in virtual worlds20:46
QuantumGso is the documentation on the chatbot still accurate?  cause it specifically says it is not a test of the reasoning.20:57

GarethTheGreatbut there's been work on integrating reasoning21:00
GarethTheGreatand the natural language pipeline within embodiment is much more advanced21:01
