Reading this post feels like following the mental process of a thoughtful and knowledgeable person. But I have trouble extracting any main point or insight from your post. The style is partly to blame, but you also don’t give references for the AGI part of the post, which makes it really hard to situate your ideas with the rest of the field.
Also, you give almost no arguments for the few points that appear along the text, like the need for AGI to be able to download our knowledge. In some sense, it’s the whole point of Machine Learning, so it’s trivially true. But it looks like you’re attempting to say something deeper here. And I’m not sure I or others here can get it without a more careful exploration.
Thanks, I appreciate that feedback. I agree with you that there was no clear main point, and I think the AGI part assumes a different type of architecture than what is used today, which as you point out makes it difficult to situate the ideas. I’ll put some thought in and see if I can come up with a better way to frame it.
