AGI is here, but nobody wants it. Why should we even care? 2022-12-20T19:14:25.696Z

I understand the part about turning money into results. Unfortunately, I do not see any confusion here. One of the well-funded teams succeeded in creating AGI. I state it clearly. I might be wrong, but I was not so far.

Now, there is a gap in general knowledge on how to achieve AGI. Only someone knows how (yes, it is only me who says that, granted). But it is possible. And the gap is dangerous.

We have hundreds of thousands highly educated, skilled engineers available on the market very now. Some of them are as clever and educated as the members of the successful AGI team. Some maybe more so. Hire them, give them time to research and create. Not many would succeed, granted. But some will.

I see nothing confused about that. It is radical, crazy, and it will not happen. But it is less wrong than not doing it. Because - if my premise is correct - without these engineers it is game over for many. When are the main AGI principles patented by private enterprise, world as we know it would cease to exist.
