Matt: Which are these areas of science, technology, arts, or indeed any area of human activity, period, where the experts all agree and are NOT in deep conflict? MT:And if that's too hard a question, which are the areas of AI or AGI, where the experts all agree and are not in deep conflict?

Sure, but Matt is also suggesting that his path is the most viable and so from the point of view of an investor, he/she is faced with very divergent opinions on the type of resources needed to get to the AGI expeditiously. It's far easier to understand wide price swings in a spaceship to get fr

Well, Matt and I are talking about building totally different kinds of systems... I believe the system he wants to build would cost a huge amount ... but I don't think it's the most interesting sorta thing to build ... A decent analogue would be spaceships. All sorts of designs exist, some order
