Thinking about Artificial General Intelligence

About this blog

It‘s been around two years since I left academia for the standard reasons of it being an inhumane system. However, I never stopped wanting to research and all the ideas and inspriations that got ignited during the work on my PhD still sometimes keep me awake at night (I could very much emphatize with Oppenheimer as a student being teased by the space between the atoms in the movie). So intelligent people told me to write it down, when it keeps me from sleeping. And this is where we are. 

This is hopefully is going to be a comprehensive collection of thoughts about the basis of general intelligence and how to achieve it with an artificial system. As I currently don‘t have the possibilities necessary to build such systems and do research on them, it will always stay rather high level discussions. I still hope to spark some discussions about the greater concepts, and am happy about anyone wanting to share their thoughts or a related good read they encountered (I admit, I tend to treat source research somewhat negligently…)
