I like open source for a lot of things and have used quite a bit of it. A problem with open source and AGI is that if the AGI is going to work there's going to be some really cutting edge stuff with lots of elbow grease in there that I'm not sure too many people want to expose. For a basic AGI with standard design though yes an open source project could be setup. And for this I would recommend some sort of plugin model. But you do have to look at the number of open source projects that exist and the number that lay dormant and die. Many, many die and also many are eclipsed by better open source projects doing the same thing. Building an instant biz on some non-existent AGI project though I can't comment on that. Usually open source projects get running for a while and then a business or business eco system form around them. For AGI I picture 3 or 4 that get started, maybe more once it heats up, then a couple die off or merge. Though in some spaces you see dozens of successful projects.
