Because he asked me to figure it out in a way that implied he already had a solution; the assignment wouldn’t make sense if it were to locate a non-workable AGI design (as many AI researchers have done throughout the history of the field); that wouldn’t at all prove that the pieces to make AGI are already out there. Also, there wouldn’t be much reason to think that his sharing a non-workable AGI design with me would be dangerous.
I believe my previous post was low on detail partially due to traumatic conditioning making these things hard to write about. I got a lot of info and psychological healing from telling a “normal” person (not part of rationalist scene) about what happened while feeling free to be emotionally expressive along the way. I mentioned screaming regarding the “infohazard” concept being used to cover up circumstances of deaths; I also screamed regarding the “create a workable AGI design” point. This probably indicates that some sort of information connection/flow was suppressed.
