in multiple fields -- can snap his fingers and get all the required funding,
whether commercial or non-profit, for AGI projects which he initiates or
supports?

I have recently been trying to find better formalisms than TMs for
different classes of adaptive systems (including the human brain), and
have come across the Persistent Turing Machines[1], which seem to be a
good first step in that direction.
They have expressiveness claimed to be greater than
Thanks for the link. I agree that this work is moving in an
interesting direction, though I'm afraid that for AGI (and adaptive
systems in general), TM may be too low as a level of description ---
the conclusions obtained in this kind of work may be correct, but not
constructive enough. Even so,

Deb Roy at the MIT media lab, and his The Human Speechome Project, are
supposed to have garnered the following resources for a major AI task.
Deb Roy is a very, repeat very, bright guy, at this point in time probably
much brighter than Minsky.

I love Deb Roy and think his work is wonderful, but one thing he does NOT
have is a coherent design for an AGI ...
As I understand it, what he's doing now is aimed at gathering loads of
speech data, for later analysis...
His prior work on robotics and symbol grounding was also really cool, but

I read the paper -- nothing terribly interesting, but it does provide
empirical validation that
a) it is quite possible to do a Turing Test type simulation with kids aged
as young as 5
b) current AI programs (at least the chat bots they tried out in their
experiment) can't pass this Turing test

Because AI will save the world or destroy it?
Because it can significantly help us to accomplish our goals -
whatever that is ATM. Destroying the Earth might be in our best
interest at some point in the future. But not now I guess :). Of
course depends on who will control the AGI, but powerful
