Memory Dump View of Artificial Intelligence

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

“Life is too short not to believe in Memory.”

Founding Farther of Memorianity

Imagine someone wrote an AI program and fit it into 4Gb. Imagine that it becomes intelligent indeed after some execution time (learning?). At some point when we admit its true intelligence we save a complete memory dump. Conclusion: we successfully reduced AI to a memory dump (out of memorillion of them). If AI requires a distributed network we still have the more complex dump (but still the dump). If AI program requires storage for its learning database we just concatenate it to the complete memory dump and we have the dump file again. Would advocates of AI or even Artificial General Intelligence agree with me?

Breakfast with Intel Manuals (1st)

Wednesday, July 15th, 2009

I’ve decided to spend a few hours every week reading and / or re-reading various Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures manuals to keep myself informed in differences between x64 and x86, revive Asmpedia and perhaps even apply gained insights to memory dump analysis. Today I read 2.1 - 2.2.5 sections from Volume 1 and here’s a rough picture of processor families that I assembled after reading:

 

Most of these models and their hardware architecture are discussed in this popular book that I read more than a year ago and still recommend without hesitation:
