I'll ignore that. But seriously, you don't believe me? Let me
rephrase my request.

I have an idea of building something that could be called an AI
machine (admittedly quibbling over words) but I'm looking for
critique. Both in my method and design, and what tests I could do to
see if it "thinks like a human". The idea is based off of
constructing a kind of "computational device" or "controlling device"
that is similar to our knowledge of the human brain. I think I have a
plan on how to build it, a p[rot-type. I have some of the equipment
at hand, in a lab (admittedly a home shift lab, as I don't think the
school will offer space for such research), and I have done some tests
as to its efficacy. In fact, I have just about exhausted them and
can't think of anymore to disprove my theorem. And, admittedly, I'd
like to proceed further, although there is much risk and trepadation
of such an endavour. I need at least one other research partner.
Admittedly, I'm beginning to doubt I can recruit such a person here.
In addition I need some extra equipment. What do you think? (Besides
the obvious fact that I need medication.)

Thanks,
Joe
