>>1 At the moment I am trying to write a "White Paper" about the state of Mentifex AI, so I need a surrogate to go in my place. Yesterday from
http://www.curata.com/blog/the-ultimate-white-paper-template-free-download I printed out twelve pages about how to write a White Paper, so I am slowly making progress. The White Paper is necessary because Mentifex AI in this year of /prog/con 2016 -- hey will it be an attempt to con the public, like an old-time Ponzi Scheme or a modern-day Singularity Scam? -- is at a major juncture on the RoadMap to Singularity AI. Here is what I have so far:
AI is a lot simpler than Netizens think it is.
True AI is not instantly mature with human-level intelligence, but needs to grow as a human child grows.
What AI needs most is a theory of mind.

There is a lot of exciting, temendous, oh-so-excoriating AI news to convey at the tribal /progcon/2016 clambake, I can hardly wait, beam me up, Scottie, and drop me back down into the /progcon/ 2016 Singularity Day.
