The popular increase of attention on the brain and the "smart" aspect of things will force AGI funding. An example today in the grocery store glaring at you smack in the middle of all the typical tabloids about J. Lo getting pregnant and Tom and Katie possibly getting back together was this big special edition Nat Geo about the human brain where there should have been a special about how to glaze that great holiday ham with spiced honey and maraschino cherries. The strange reality of it made me hold up the queue scanning it quickly for anything good, and then putting it back on the rack as usual. What would happen if we are in the early stages on a quick ramp-up to an explosion of AGI funding? How does one position oneself? Are ya'll ready for that? We probably want to get the money into the most capable and deserving hands.
