Dear reader,

moca_and_me_small

I would like to thank you very much, for giving a part of your invaluable time to read my blog. All materials in this site are provided with the true hope that it will help someone, sometime, somewhere.

The author (Romeo Lupascu) provides no warranty for any kind for the information provided and can not be hold responsible for the actions of the reader and the subsequent consequences derived from them at any time, present or future.   All the information I’m publishing on this website represents my own personal opinions. Under no circumstance any information on this site (http://romeolupascu.net) represents any of my current past or future employers unless I’m specifically stating it in my articles.

Since sometime in 2018 WordPress added a Google Translate feature to the site, tried it and did not disable it as it may provide some sort of raw translation from English to another language. Since Google Translate evolves this feature may get better in time. Currently the translation is not very accurate so please take in consideration that the translation by Google may be jut awful for some phrases. I’m writing my articles in English only so if you want accuracy please use the original English language.

I’m manually approving all feedback and I will only approve feedback which is meaningful and can help the articles and other readers.  This means that messages like whose content is only “great!”, “thank you”, “f… you” etc. will be considered spam and deleted.
Any generic message which can go as well with any other website or article and which is usually generated by poorly written programs will also be considered spam and deleted.
I apologize if your message gets deleted. If I can determine that you are a real person or a sufficiently advanced artificial intelligence (AI) 🙂 then your comments will be approved with your agreement.

As of Mar 15, 2014, after loosing too much time deleting spam messages, I was forced to require the reader to register with this blog before posting the feedback. This is not what I’ve wanted but I had no choice. Please accept my apologies for this restriction.

As of May 24, 2015 I’m dropping the restriction on being registered with the site to post comments, but I’m keeping the manual approval process, since this is a personal private non commercial site. I’ll experiment further with this new settings and avoid using any email based registration as countries like Canada passed anti spam legislation which can land me in hot water if my site sends any unsolicited email to you (and defects can happen in software!).

I am aware that “I know what I know, but I don’t know what I don’t know”.
I will always appreciate any advice which can help to make those articles clearer and easier to understand.

After many years, I’ve realized that the probability to please everyone in the world is pretty low no matter how much I would hope and try. Knowing this, I can only promise to strive to provide information as close as possible to what I personally perceive as correct, at the time of the writing. I’m also going to fix any error as soon as I’ll find it myself or with your help.

Some times, we may set unrealistic expectations based on the information we receive, due to various stages of filtering when this information is assimilated by our mind.

Knowing this, I respectfully warn you to use your own rationale, when using any information on this site. Please use your own best judgement before using it in any of your future actions.

Even though I’m striving not to allow any violent language or ideas to creep in my articles, I know that it is very hard to foretell how any of this information will be used by people visiting the site. That is why, I respectfully ask you to never incite to hate or violence based on any interpretation of the information or parts of the information you find on http://romeolupascu.net.

I’m only a human being on my road to better understand the universe…

If you find any part of the information to be inappropriate, please live a comment and I promise to take action as soon as possible.

Romanian is my first language and English second, this may lead to some expressions looking unusual for the native English  speaker. If you find so, please live me a message. I’ll always appreciate your help in this matter.

This is a blog allowing people to post their own feedback for each article I post. The feedback messages are not automatically posted on the site. I apologize if you will not see your message publicized but my rules are simple:

  • I will review all messages no matter if I can identify the owner or not
  • I will only approve a message and make it public if:
    • I will receive the approval of the owner (if not stated in the message)
    • the message helps the context of the posting (criticism is very welcome, spam is not)

Thank you so much for your time and understanding!

I hope you will find that your time was well spent by reading my articles.

Defining intelligence

The ability of any information processing entity, biological or digital to distinguish, search, find and use the causal paths that this reality uses to build itself then use them to search and design new future paths that lead to an optimal outcome on long term of both the entity itself as well as the entire set of information processing entities as a whole.

That basically means the pursuit of happiness for all.

An intelligent entity can use various tools and models to achieve this task. As part of these tools there is mathematics with statistical tools used to uncover substantive causal paths out of (usually) superficial correlated events that it is exposed to when moving in the space of states of this reality (spacetime and other dimensions and fields).

I do not call intelligent an entity that is not aware if the causal-correlation relationship and confuses one for another.

That being said, I consider all current AIs as non intelligent entities that are capable of mimicking more or less other intelligent entities that for now are only the few of us. Yes, surprise, if you are not aware of this causal-correlation problem then you can’t be labelled intelligent in this definition of intelligence. Also if you follow there is no reference of IQ measures in here. That is irrelevant unless it leads to the required parameters of intelligence.

For our sake and the future of us all I hope that once we get this straight then most of us will become truly intelligent and so being able to build tools to help us in this intelligent endeavour.
