EFTA00001718-p-1.jpg

The image shows an interior space that appears to be a laundry room within a larger establishment. On the left side of the room are multiple industrial washing machines and dryers. A large fan is situated between two of the machines. The floor is covered with square tiles in a light color, and there's a blue plastic tarp draped over one area, possibly to protect something underneath it or for cleaning purposes. In the background, through an open window, you can see greenery outside, suggesting that this room might be located near some plants or trees. There are no people visible in the image, and any text present is not clearly legible due to the angle and quality of the photo.

The image shows an interior room with a tiled floor and walls painted in light colors. In the foreground, there's a fan standing on a small round stand. Behind the fan, there are two machines that resemble industrial washing machines due to their size and structure. The machine on the left has control panels visible, suggesting it might be automated or programmable. There is also another large piece of equipment to the right with what appears to be a monitor screen attached to its front, but its specific function is not clear from this angle. The room's lighting is soft and even, without strong shadows, indicating overhead fluorescent lights are likely in use. There are no visible texts or discernible brands that can be read. No people are present in the image. The setting does not provide any clues about the location of the facility; it could be a commercial laundry, an industrial wash room, or part of a larger factory operation where cleaning and processing equipment is used.

EFTA00001196-p-1.jpg

The image shows an industrial setting with a focus on two large blue machines. These machines appear to be some sort of machinery for industrial use, possibly related to manufacturing or processing due to their sturdy construction and the presence of controls at the top. The room itself has concrete floors and walls with exposed ductwork overhead, indicating it is likely part of an industrial facility. There are no people visible in the image, emphasizing the equipment over the environment. On the lower left corner of the image, there's a watermark or logo that reads "ETC" followed by the number 2008, which could suggest either the photographer's mark or the ownership of the machinery.

This document is a book written by Ben Goertzel about Engineering General Intelligence. In it, he outlines a practical approach to creating software systems with general intelligence at the human level and beyond. The focus of the first part of the book is on critical conceptual issues related to the nature of intelligence and mind. It also sketches the broad outlines of a novel, integrative architecture for Artificial General Intelligence called CogPrime, and describes an approach for giving an AGI system appropriate experience so that it can develop its own smarts, creativity and wisdom through its own experience. The book dedicates to Goertzel's grandfather who was also a deep thinker and excellent scientist.
