Last one: I don’t think a conscious AGI is coming any time soon. I’m in the camp that neurons alone do not give rise to consciousness. I suspect it’s much more complicated and mathematically prohibitive unless we are able to utilize a quantum computer to make a breakthrough. But it seems no one is looking at the actual complexity of what a brain does and instead throwing money at computation.

We want the grand reward but avoid the hard work. The result will be a shitcoin that feels like AGI, looks like AGI but is not really AGI - just a good fake.

Happy to be wrong on this.
