Fundraiser & New Progress

Have started a GoFundMe fundraiser for a new computer system; my old one from 2009 is not so fast anymore.

And i have a better idea of the five-pronged approach i'll be using for the AI (whom i'll have to name soon — can't just keep calling her "the AI") [paraphrased from a write-up by Mary Evans]:
The system has to be able to run five custom-written programs (in the background) simultaneously on UNIX:  one each to handle emotion, logical thinking, associative thinking, natural language expression, and memory (and anything else i find to be necessary).  And since proper understanding and empathy requires some sort of virtual body, i plan to add graphics of a face & body for the AI (and a camera to view the user).

Thank you to everyone for all of your support, both financial and emotional.  Time to get back to work!

The fundraiser website is:  http://GoFundMe.com/GOFAI

Namaste.
