We could have a commercial project that is unconventional, for example, selling the AGI at near-cost-value (thus making it more like a non-profit), and expecting very long-term return-on-investment.
There is no money in AGI -- in the short term. But there is a lot of money in the long term, to be sure. One thing that I really don't understand is why so many people I've talked to about AGI insist on working for free. If you can give me a little explanation (of your view), I'd greatly appreciate it. In my last AGI project, my team kept debating the free vs commercial issue to the point that no work got done! =(
(I think focusing on some core algorithms forces you to throw away useful things and you end up with an incomplete system.. but this is my personal belief)
Some other people can develop the non-core parts, so that would not be a problem. It seems that you still prefer the public-contribution idea. How do you solve the problem of making the modules work together?
