[extropy-chat] it had to happen...

[Anne-Marie Taylor]

Since you brought it up:)
  This is way out there, I know.  But what the heck, i'm known
  now to do and say strange things:)
   
  I was wondering if astrology could help in building AI.
  Don't get me wrong, I was looking at it from the point of view
  of catagorizing certain charactestics based on the time frame 
  of when your born.
   
  When creating a "Friendly AI", how will it know how to relate 
  to humans?  
   
  The Blue Man Theory, (looking at it from the point of view that
  everybody looks exactly the same, blue, bald, 136p and 5'6) 
  is a way to learn to focus on body language, facial expression,
  and spoken language, leaving out all forms of prejudice.
   
  So how will an AI distinguish between the characteristics of all
  these Blue people?
  For example:
  The AI meets #128766 (named Joe) and recognizes that Joe is
  nice, timid and lazy.  It will catagorize it.  Then meets
  #178654 (named Sara) and recognizes that Sara is sweet, 
  educated and egotistical.  It will catagorize it.
  I'm assuming that once the AI has met enough blue people, it 
  will find a way to group certain characteristics or find the link
  between them.
   
  I am a strong believer in astrology based on the idea that people
  born at a certain times have similar characterics (Again, from a point
  of view of the Blue Man Theory).  
  This can't be proven, I know, it's just my experiences and 
  observations that have led me to be curious.
   
  Could Astrology just be a way for humans to learn about 
  characterics?   
   
  It would seem ludicrious to believe that human characterics are 
  unique per individual therefore there must be a way compute it.
  How can something that's been around that long have no meaning
  or reason?

Not as radical as I'd hoped. I was hoping to learn about, for 
example, Quantum Colonic Astrology or Dark Energy Astrology...
