Wei Dai has cast some doubts on the AI-based approach
I am curious if he has "another approach" he wrote about; I am not brushed up on sl4/ob/lw prehistory.
Personally I have some interest in increasing intelligence capability on individual level via "tools of thought" kind of approach, BCI in the limit. There is not much discussion of it here.
No, I haven't written in any detail about any other approach. I think when I wrote that post I was mainly worried that Eliezer/SIAI wasn't thinking enough about what other approaches might be more likely to succeed than FAI. After my visit to SIAI a few months ago, I became much less worried because I saw evidence that plenty of SIAI people were thinking seriously about this question.
I haven't seen any other approaches mentioned here specifically, would be interesting to hear what those thoughts are, if they are publishable.
I think there is a lot of room improving on Englebart's approach with modern tools. It may also be viewed as a booster to the FAI rocket, if it in crease productivity enough.
