Eliezer has mentioned CopyCat many times, so I figured that Mitchell and the relation to the FARGonauts was redundant information. On the topic of Mitchell and books, I also recommend An Introduction to Genetic Algorithms.
You’re right, I stand corrected. I could have sworn I remembered him mentioning CopyCat in OB before, but I can’t find any now, only in other essays like “General Intelligence and Seed AI” and “The Plan to Singularity”.

I don’t recall seeing CopyCat mentioned on OB. Has he mentioned it elsewhere, perhaps?
Not everyone here is familiar with Eliezer’s stuff outside OB/LW and an awareness that SIAI is his “day job”.
