To respond in kind ,you along with virtually all AGI-ers show an inability to understand or define the problems of AGI - i.e. the end-problems that an AGI must face, the problems of creativity vs rationality. You only actually deal in standard, narrow AI problems.
If you don't understand what a new machine must do, all your technical knowledge of machines to date may be irrelevant. And in your case, I can't think of any concerns of yours like complexity that have anything to do with AGI problems at all - nor have you ever tried to relate them to any actual AGI problems. So we're well-matched in inability - except that in creative matters, knowledge of the problems-to-be-solved always takes priority over knowledge of entirely irrelevant solutions.

The problem is not just oriented around a consumer definition of a goal, because it involves a fundamental comprehension of the tools available to achieve that goal. I appreciate your idea that AGI has to be diversifiable but your inability to understand certain things that are said about computer programming makes your proclamation look odd.

The universal endlessly repeated criterion here that a system must be capable of being "scaled up" is a narrow AI criterion. The proper criterion is "diversifiable." If your system can say navigate a DARPA car through a grid of city streets, it's AGI if it's diversifiable - or rather can diversify itself - if it can then navigate its way through a forest, or a strange maze - without being programmed anew. A system is AGI if it can diversify from one kind of task/activity to another different kind - as humans and animals do - without being additionally programmed . "Scale" is irrelevant and deflects attention from the real problem. agi | Archives | Modify Your Subscription agi | Archives | Modify Your Subscription ------------------------------------------- agi Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/ Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=8660244-6e7fb59c Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
