Hi Jeffrey,

Great! I want to see the deception character too, and I look forward to helping my team create it using OpenCog ;)

If you want to provide the $45K "10% corporate donation" for the HK gov't grant as a donation to a 501(c)3 nonprofit -- then the way to do it, as before, is via the nonprofit Humanity+, with bank information

Humanity Plus
Wells Fargo
Routing #:
Account #:

Humanity+ will then redirect the $$ to Hong Kong Poly U.

I'd also love to talk more about

A) larger-scale AGI possibilities

B) the option of you funding me for a research fellowship via Poly U (recall the $45K*10 pays for a team of students & programmers but not for me personally, due to restrictions from the granting agency. Since I'm involved with the corporate funding of the grant, I can't draw $$ from the grant personally. This is OK as I have other income sources; but it would be even nicer if I could focus on the AGI project more exclusively rather than splitting my time between that an narrow-AI income sources...)

If you're interested to talk more, let me know when you may be available....

But of course, if the $45K to keep the HK gov't grant going and work toward the deception character is all you feel moved to give at this time, that's still awesome. We can always do a larger-scale project a year from now once I've won a bit more of your confidence by having my team creating the deception-capable game character.... But it would be even better to move faster...

Anyway thanks so much ;)

Hi,

Ah I guess Wells Fargo must have modified their routing # since we last used that account. I will get the correct info within the next couple days and email it to you.

Hi Richard,

OK ... it seems Natasha (from Humanity+) has returned the $$ as requested...

Please let me know when Jeffrey's generous grant of $60K has been conveyed to my Novamente LLC account, so I can check that it was successfully received.

Note that it will be best if I can receive this by Dec 26 at latest, as some of it is supposed to be wired on to Hong Kong before year's end (for reasons I discussed with Jeffrey; it's being used as "matching funds" in a Hong Kong government grant).

Thanks much,
Ben

Richard,

To convey the $60K directly to me, the best route is my consulting

company Novamente LLC, whose bank info is at the end of this email.
