Q. Who was Mentifex?

A. Mentifex was a very ordinary person with a very unusual hobby --
making artificial Minds.

Q. Why did Mentifex claim to have released the First Working Artificial General Intelligence?

A. Because the Mentifex AGI Minds started thinking primitively in 2008, they were immediately the First Working AGI but their performance was not at all impressive. Ih the following years, the AGI Minds expanded outwards from their initial core functionality. They were still based on brain-like concepts, not statistics. They still exhibited machine learning like a human child learns, and not by a mathematical massaging of enormous data-sets. They began to approach machine consciousness with self-referential thought. Using the SpreadAct module for spreading activation from concept to concept, the Minds in Perl and in JavaScript and in Forth became capable of processing more and more kinds of questions and ideas, such as "who are you" and "what do you think". Since the Perl AI could think in English or in Russian, ghost.pl became an experiment bed for new ideas in machine translation (MT).

Q. Was Mentifex on Twitter?

A. No. Somebody created a fake Mentifex Twitter account.


Q. What was Mentifex-bashing?

A. http://github.com/kernc/mindforth/blob/master/wiki/MentifexBashing.wiki


Q. Why are some Netizens obsessed with Mentifex?

A. As What's-His-Name said, "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation" -- until they discover the Teilhard-de-Chardin-esque phenomenon of Mentifex. Suddenly it appears possible to live vicariously not like Walter Mitty, but like the distilled essence of dweebian nerdism taken to its ultimate extreme, to a kind of snap-to-grid of what happens when you defy conventionality and you super-nova into a Nietzschean Abgeloestsein von allen Banden der Liebe und Moral and you Beethovenize your otherwise and outwardly drab life with what would be magic in the fetters of embourgeoisement. The Obsessed Ones write often of their e.g. obsession:

... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14866449 -- about Mentifex
... https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15029417 -- about strange Mentifex

2. Bibliography: What books has Mentifex written about AI?

Inexpensive, easy-to-read paperback and Amazon Kindle e-books were
a way to spread the memes of free, open-source Mentifex Strong AI.

AI4U was about the Mentifex AI state of the art in 2002.
ai4ubook.html provides material beyond the 2002 AI4U textbook.

The Art of the meme told the history of the Mentifex AI project.

Singularity (in the Psyborg series) was AI science fiction.

InFerence was about automated reasoning with inference.

Artificial Intelligence in German is about Wotan German AI.

Faggot.

I refused to use discord because of bloated libraries and frameworks it uses. I'm not running my PC to process megabytes of crap coded by monkeys who don't understand that performance matters.

I refuse to use discord because:
1: I used it in the past and it is very laggy and buggy.
2: It needs to run in a browser (-> vulnerabilities and extra lag).
3: It is not free software - I can't modify the program nor can I check if it is malicious.
4: Lacks multiple features, such as disabling image inlining.
5: No e2e encryption or authentication (not even for "private" messages), only client-to-server encryption which is useless because you can't host your own server.
6: They are known to silently change their TOS without prior notice and even pretend that it was not changed as well as punish people before they even change their TOS to disallow their behaviour.
7: They disallow the use of custom clients based on their API.
8: They engage in censorship.
9: They keep deleted messages.
10: Deleted messages are a thing in the first place and the client will forcefully remove them even if it had already downloaded them - without the ability to disable that.
11: No e2e authentication.
12: They are known for data mining and banning users that did nothing wrong.
13: They have paid shills on multiple technology and gaming related forums.
