ok Colin Hales. We'll see you in 12 months' time and then know what you imagined AGI to be. POCs are great deal breakers. It must work 100% as designed, or else it's regarded as a total failure. There's no grey room for excuses there, no such a thing as a marginal POC. Then you should call it a pilot study, and not a proof of concept prototype. As long as we're all empirically clear on that.

Basic 'computational unit', intrinsically adaptive. 1 million times scaled up so neuroscientists can hold it in their hands and acclimatise themselves to how it maps to membrane activity and then AGI. It's pointless talking to computer science/engineering about non-computer approaches to AGI, so I've given up. Keep thinking along the same lines and you'll be on the vector towards real AGI. No models. No software. Empirical science, not theoretical science. The one thing nobody sees and that has never been tried since 1952. Enjoy!
