Also cows are very smart animals, also sheeps which are ables to recognize themselves in a mirror, pigs even know how to play simple video games with a joystick.
Certainly many animals are considerably more intelligent than previously thought.
Crows and parrots not only know how to repeat words, but also understand their meaning, they are, together with the great apes, the only ones who allow an intelligible conversation, although with the apes only through sign language, since they lack of a phonetic apparatus necessary to be able to articulate words.

…will read it and come back much later (many times) to update this comment.
.1) earliest date in that document is 2003, this is already somewhat outdated !
.2) entrepreneur’s & pragmatic approach to the question of creating G.A.i.
.3) Mountcastle’s paper : Rosetta stone of neuroscience (exactly the same 6 layer neurone structure in every part of the cortex would produce a single workflow)
My search: “Redwood Neuroscience Institute” ==> humm, they are keeping silent for 20 years, meaning they might be (must be) with the military now. Quite worrying is this ?
It’s been a while since I read it. The main parts that stuck with me were about the approach of trying to map out brain structures and figure out what they do. Then implement these in a neural network and see if they produce similar results. This seems like the right approach for trying to figure out how to implement a biologically inspired AI. And the part about the 6 layered structure being repeated in the cortex is very encouraging. If it is a single repeating structure, then there’s a good chance we’ll be able to figure out the algorithm there.
i read this as : Cows … then Crows … then again Cows. My reading skills are often quite bad 😆. At least i can lol.

Don’t tell anyone: i like meat 🤭 !
There is some evidence that the brain has a common recurrent structure to it. On Intelligence is a really fun read about this.

i agree & many thanks again 👍
