Google has been mentioned in the context of AGI, simply because they have money, parallel processing power, excellent people, an orientation towards technological innovation, and important narrow AI successes and research goals. Do Page's words mean that Google is seriously working towards AGI? If so, does anyone know the people involved? Do they have a chance and do they understand the need for Friendliness? Also: Vinge's notes on his Long Now Talk, "What If the Singularity Does NOT Happen" are at http://www-rohan.sdsu.edu/faculty/vinge/longnow/index.htm I'm delighted to see counter-Singularity analysis from a respected Singularity thinker. This further reassurance that the the flip-side is being considered deepens my beliefs in pro-Singularity arguments.
