Wow, I humbly bow down before Eliezer's ability to get loyal followers the image that comes to mind is the blind leading the blind. Expertise you say, show me this expertise? Show me a single AI system built by this self-proclaimed expert. Show me a single technical paper with math beyond bayesian statistics written by Eliezer. Tell me how is this: "This is likely code for "we used Bayesian methods", at least if "Bayesian methods" is taken to include algorithms like particle filtering." knowledge? Its wrong. Or the rest of the post on emergent AI system. I prescribe some reading on swarm logic etc, and some general knowledge of the field in question.

Classic... delete the context and throw wild accusations. Good to know your so mature.

The idea is similar to swarm logic or artificial life where the concept there is to program a single agent who behaves naturally then put a bunch of them together and you get natural behavior. The idea of emergent behavior from smaller parts is of great interest in the defense industry.

Stanley used a Markov model.
