“GenericThinker, please stop posing as an authority on things you know very little about (e.g. the halting problem). If you don’t actually work at Intel or another chip fab, I’m not particularly interested in your overestimates of how much you know about the field.”
As to the point of the halting problem, my point is correct the question of whether a given AI program halts may not be particularly interesting but my response was directed at the post above mine which I took to be implying that since and AGI is not an arbitrary program therefore the halting problem does not apply. If I miss understood the persons post fine I retract my comment. If that was what was meant then I am correct. Since all the halting problem does is ask the question given some program and some input does the program halt or go on infinitely? That is computability 101, it is also related to Godel’s Incompleteness theorem.
