world of serious AI/AGI inquiry, but since discovering the idea of the

I have been wanting to participate in (or even devote myself to) this
field. A strong resource for people who are interested in AI but are not
involved in the cognitive sciences or computer sciences at academic
institutions would be very welcome.
