> The Temporal Nature of problems (e.g., how quickly is this lion coming at me before he eats me) is essential for a true AGI to understand.
I agree that figuring out that A happens before B seems important. But I don't see why an AGI would have to operate on the same timescale as we do (well, assuming they wouldn't have to worry about being eaten by lions or interacting with humans).
> In the limit, could an AGI exist with only 20 WPM Morse Code I/O? Or 10 CPS of a Model 33 TTY ? I dunno...
My guess would be that yes, it could exist in that scenario, but the AGI would only start to operate at a significant intelligence level once enough useful data had been gathered and processed, which is probably a huge amount (so it would take a huge amount of time).
But if the AGI had already been trained with huge amounts of data, then operating in a limited environment perhaps would be no problem at all (although the limited interface might greatly limit its rate of further development).
