    The Mentifex AI solution bypasses the famous Turing Test in favor of primitive AI Minds that must speciate and evolve.

    The Association for Computing Machinery has reported twice (in 1998 and in 2004) on the Mentifex progress towards True AI.

    AI has been solved but the claim of an AI solution *in* *theory* *only* arouses intense hostility on the 'Net.

    Amazon Book Reviews are an example of vicious Mentifex-bashing where Slashdotters are invited to intervene with the well-known and widely admired Slashdot traditions of open-mindedness, fair play, and gentlemanly respect for the opinions of others.

  6. AI Has Been Solved on Humanoid Robot KHR-1 SDK Released · · Score: 1, Informative

    The news has recently been announced -- just in time for the emergence of AI-ready robots -- that the sideways integration of sensory input with a conceptual mindgrid is the solution to artificial intelligence.

    The solution to AI qua problem -- qua grand challenge to humanity -- exists at first in theory only.

    The Association for Computing Machinery has reported in ACM Sigplan Notices 33(12):25-31 (1998) and in ACM Sigplan Notices 39(12):11-16 (2004) on progress in implementing the AI solution as open-source AI software evolving into Mind.Forth for robots. There is an implicit contest involved here of who can keep the date-stamped robot AI Mind running the longest, as if for the Guiness Book of World Records. Since Mentifex AI is in the public domain, programmers are free to customize special AI Minds in any programming language and to offer their artificial intelligence for sale on eBay in the Computers and Networking software marketplace.

    Please do not point to the primitive Mentifex software as proof that the claim of an AI solution is false. The only claim made here is that AI has been solved in theory, not yet (please stand by) successfully implemented in software or hardware. The Artificial General Intelligence Research Institute (AGIRI) is creating powerful Novamente software but is handicapped for lack of funding and for disregard of the Mentifex AI theory. Mentifex has a secret plan to locate funding for AGIRI if the AGI team either hires Mentifex or agrees to implement the Theory of Cognitivity.

  7. Artificial Intelligence for Robots - Source Code on High School Kids Beat MIT at Robotics Competition · · Score: 0, Troll

    Mind.Forth for Robots is free AI source code that high-schoolers may download, play around with, and possibly get a leg up on outdoing MIT and all the other minds-wide-shut adult AI enterprises. (There is an implicit contest involved here of who can keep the date-stamped robot AI Mind running the longest, as if for the Guiness Book of World Records.)

    The Theory of Cognitivity is the basis of the free source code for artificial intelligence. Any high-schooler interested in an AI or robotics career may start working on AI theory immediately.

    Dr. Ben Goertzel of the Novamente AI project has evaluated the AI theory offered here.

    ACM Sigplan Notices 33(12):25-31 "Mind.Forth: Thoughts on AI and Forth" was a 1998 evaluation by the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).

    ACM Sigplan Notices 39(12):11-16 "Forth and AI Revisited: BRAIN.FORTH" is a more recent (December 2004) follow-up by the ACM on the robot AI project.

    Mind.Forth AI for Robots is a primitive but evolving artificial intelligence which may be able to enter into a direct mind-link -- a kind of "Vulcan Mind-Meld" a la Star Trek -- with human brains implanted with this new technology.

    Standard Mind.Forth AGI is a free, Open-Source Artificial General Intelligence for use in the sort of autonomous mobile robots that will one day win the DARPA Grand Challenge and other such contests.

    Experimental Mind.Forth is a version of the free artificial robot Mind that may be run in test mode for experimental and developmental purposes. Both versions of the robot AGI Mind display the date they came to life and started thinking -- in a separatoe "grand challenge" for schools, laboratories and computer stores to see who, and how long, can hold the title of hosting the longest-running good-old-fashioned artificial intelligence (GOFAI).

    One caveat about the DARPA and other Grand Challenges is, given that the human ability to administer the home planet is precarious at best and foolhardy at times, students of mind-design are advised to anticipate such emergencies as the total collapse of human society. If a global pandemic of AIDS or avian influenza virus were to remove normal human leadership from all major countries, stewardship of the world may pass by default to intelligent computer systems. Whether as a student exercise or whether as a real-world DARPA Grand Challenge necessity, programmers with previous experience in real-time process control and who are adding AGI techniques to their set of skills, should consider embedding the following possibilities in whatever AGI they code for autonomous mobile robots.

    The anti-Mentifex snobbery is a prime example of what is wrong with Wikipedia -- self-appointed experts fawning over the AI Establishment and arrogantly dissing independent scholars, who make their own serious contributions but who are not part of the attention-demanding priesthood of artificial intelligence.

    AI has been solved -- but the vicious holier-than-thou Wikipaedophiles try to chase away all news of the slumbering, still awakening, solution to artificial intelligence.

    AI algorithms are now freely available on the 'Net, memetically spreading the news that AI has been solved, in spite of the head-in-the-sand ostriches that infest Wikipedia -- the ha-ha free-for-all encyclpedia. Now watch the same manner of nattering nabobs come in and insult any open-source AI software developer who dares to throw out the exceptional but true claim that AI has been solved.

    Theory, not software, is where AI has been solved. People should not use the primitive nature of the AI Mind software to debunk or dismiss the sincere claim that AI -- in theory -- has indeed been solved. Now, would a-n-y-b-o-d-y like to write a non-partisan, fair-minded Mentifex AI article on Wikipedia, or is that goal totally impossible?

  12. AI Solved - Thanks to Tim Patterson on MS-DOS Paternity Dispute Goes to Court · · Score: 1, Funny

    Not only did Tim Patterson, creator of Q-DOS for Seattle Computer Products, make Bill Gates a man worth fifty billion dollars, even more portentously, Tim Patterson helped out in the solution to artificial intelligence. Back then, Mentifex here was working out the eventual solution to AI on a theoretical basis, and also attending monthly meetings of the Northwest Computer Society in Seattle WA USA - where Tim Patterson of Seattle Computer Products was an important member. One day at a meeting, the chair asked for volunteers to work on the newsletter. Mentifex was panic-stricken. He wanted to do his part, but he was so-o-o busy solving AI. The silence hung heavy over the room. Then, the all-around good-guy Tim Patterson raised his hand and volunteered to work on the newsletter. As arguably a result, Microsoft would take over the desktop, and Mentifex would solve AI.

    Now, about Gary Kildall of Digital Research. In 1981, Gary Kildall published an article in Byte Magazine. Consequently Mentifex wrote to Digital Research and offered them a copy of November Magazine containing first-ever publication of the Mentifex Theory of Mind. Gary Kildall's office manager wrote back and requested that two copies be sent. They were. Nothing happened. Gary Kildall had missed out not only on MS-DOS but also on Mentifex AI.

  20. America Apologizes to Iraq on DIY Ordnance Disposal With An RC Truck · · Score: -1, Troll

    Dear Iraqis -- we Americans apologize to you for illegally invading and occupying your country. We need your oil. If we destroy your houses and kill your children to get the petroleum, we apologize for any inconvenience.

    We have sent our puppet Dr. Quisling Allawi to rule over you. We will not destroy any city or kill your children without first asking our puppet Allawi if he wants us to do so. Under our program of "No Child Left Behind," we will first tell Dr. Allawi how many Iraqi children we want to kill, and we will instruct Dr. Allawi to give his permission to kill exactly that many children, and not one child more. Then we will hold our fire and announce to the world that we are waiting for Dr. Allawi to ask us to kill your children, before we kill a single child. Only when our Number-One Puppet-Minister of Iraq has asked us to start killing -- and not one day before -- that's when we will kill your children.

    We are a civilized country, America. We realize that your children are a burden to you. We need your oil, and so, in exchange for looting your second-largest oil reserves in the world, we will take over from you the job of killing your bothersome, hard-to-feed-and-clothe children. We have many advanced ways of infanticide, Arabicide and Iraqicide. Our chief methods of de-childing your lives will be dropping bombs on the houses where your children sleep, and shooting up the neighborhoods where your childen play. We have gotten so good at killing your children, that some of our snipers really enjoy the job and take pleasure in it. In Najaf, we had snipers that would shoot to kill any Iraqi mother who walked outside with a child in her arms. As our president likes to boast, "they are not a problem any more."

    You see, to our president, your children are just so much trash. The God of Christianity has appointed our president to kill your Iraqi children before they grow up to hate us and fight us. You don't want trashy children, do you? Our president feels the same way -- in his eyes, the American soldiers are just so much trash. They don't deserve decent medical care when they are wounded, and they don't deserve decent pay. Our president is an equal-opportunity trash-destroyer -- Iraqi children, American working-class soldiers -- it's all disposable trash to him. He doesn't go to your child's funeral, and he doesn't go to his soldier's funeral. His idea is, let the trashy parents of the dead American white-trash and black-trash soldier stage the trashy funeral for the trashy casualties of a trashy war.

    America is getting help in the killing of your children from the Polish military, who learned it from the German military. There is no difference between the Polish military in Iraq in 2004 and the German military in Poland in 1944. Poland = Germany. Polish = Nazi. Oh, a minor difference may be that the Polish troops are not directly killing your Iraqi children. Our trashy American troops do the killing of your trashy children, while the Polish Nazi troops watch our backs.

    Born-again Japanese militarism also helps us kill your baby boys and girls. The Japanese were really good at killing babies all over Asia in the nineteen thirties, but recently the Japanese have been losing such traditional Japanese skills as invading their neighbors and killing entire populations. Koizumi will change all that, getting back to the great Japanese military traditions of Hideki Tojo. Did you know that killing your Iraqi children will bring honor to His Majesty the Emperor of Japan? Hai, hai! Ho, ho! Japan will kill again, just as the glorious Japanese Army killed many Chinese in the Rape of Nanking in 1937. Japan is back! To whaq Iraq!
