My intuition is that the MVP is more and more capable human intelligence augmentation software suites. You want AGI that thinks as generally as a human? Fine. Have it apprentice with a human or group of humans as their increasingly capable and competent assistant eventually knowing what it is they want or will want next before even they do. Model how humans think in order to build better computational assistants and systems for augmenting and extending human abilities. This seems to me to be the most natural and likely self-funding approach possible.
