I agree that getting to this point would be great, and encouraging. However,
you dont' want an AI that is 'conceptually limited' to representations
containing 786432 pixels and 2 dimensions.
See Eliezer's example of tying an AI's time perception directly to the
system clock, the poor thing is thus unable to think about units of time
smaller than the smallest system-time unit.
that would be badd.....
just a small self-aggrandizing point!
