Hi,
The question is whether your work can be duplicated after your initial
success, and how hard is that.
It certainly could be duplicated ---- but once we demonstrate enough
success that everyone wants to copy us,
then we will be able to raise all the $$ we want and hire all the great
brains we want, and will be able to
outpace the competition. That's when the **real** AGI race will exist...
Or ... on the other hand ... we could keep our success private until
we're SO far ahead that competition
is irrelevant... (In fact, how do you know we didn't do that already?
Maybe this email thread is just intended
to throw y'all off track ;-)
Often it is easier to copy than to invent. Secondly, you seem to
think that you possess a secret AGI recipe that is very hard to
crack. This is probably not true, because AGI can be achieved
in a number of ways...
I believe AGI can be achieved in many ways ---- but that finding **any**
of those ways, among all the false possibilities, is actually pretty
difficult, given the current state of knowledge.
All in all, your strategy should be some *special* move that changes
the resource-determined outcome.
OK, well ... such as what, for example?
Funding is a relatively minor issue. Make the right moves, and
funding will come naturally.
How do you define "the right moves"? The ones that lead to funding?
I don't find this advice particularly useful...
We need some time to sit back and think about the bigger picture...
While you do that, we will continue building our AGI....
I will be curious to hear your conclusions
when you come to them...
-- Ben
