This is a collection of my AI notes as scribbled in a nice leatherbound book with one of the nicest pens I have ever owned. I'm not sure what became of the pen or the leather book enclosure, but as of November 2005, I have the actual book (one of them anyway… weren't there more?)
This is a faithful transcription of the notes and drawings in my book (no matter how ludicrous I find them now.)

Pinker "How the Mind Works"
p.14 "An intelligent system, then, cannot be stuffed with trillions of facts. It must be equipped with a smaller list of core truths and a set of rules to deduce their implications."
No:
This is the way to build today's machines. A truly intelligent system will be a machine which evaluates truth. The first truly cognizant machines will best be employed as judges - this is something even sci-fi writers have missed.
To be a thinking machine is to evaluate levels of truth
[11/20/2005 Pinker is right, and I am actually agreeing with him. In fact, I am kind of laughing at how immature and excited I sound in this passage - it was only 3 years ago. The idea of computer judges may be on track, but this assumes that AI will have reached a sufficient level of understanding. I believe I was hinting at the idea that AI would parse words and meaning without human bias.]
