Of course, things like that happen… I once called my own brother Doug in a post I made several years ago… His name, ironically, IS Dan…

I was around for the reception but didn’t see you–perhaps you were inside interviewing people? At any rate, I couldn’t make it the second day, but enjoyed the first day.

I still remain pretty skeptical about the subject, but who knows what the future will bring….

Some of the lessons will work, some won’t — but the ones that work are collected by Novamente (or somebody else) and provide incremental steps towards AGI. So it’s not collective parenting — it’s wisdom spread out over lots of individual parenting situations and strategies.

I wouldn’t think that raising a baby with a crowd as parents would be a good idea. And raising the first AGI that way might be a very, very bad idea. Imagine the consequence of child abuse here.

OTOH, I did proposed something similar in my Ramona 2.0 post. I imagined a distributed upbringing where it would be easy to delete or exclude negative experiences from the regathered central personality.

So maybe the “wisdom of the crowds” would work if the “foolishness of idiots” could be weeded out as we go.

“I’m sorry sir, but if you want to run this AGI at age 18 you will have to upgrade. Your laptop can only handle the AGI at age 2.”
