      my comments while reading

      Entrepreneur’s & pragmatic approach to the question of creating G.A.i. : major subject : beginning of a new era.
      Mountcastle’s paper : Main point = The same 6 layered neurone structure in every part of the cortex : it would produce a single workflow (“algorithm”)
      Great book, culmination of his life’s passion - - some examples a bit long and repetitive - - which is best for lay person (newbies) ? humm…
      on page 100 : one whole paragraph is repeated twice in a row after a few pages with confusion. Contradictory statements are numerous there

        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.
