Uh, I go to the same conferences - in fact I&#x27;ll be at AGI 16 this year and I was at AGI 14. Ben was my research advisor for my Masters.<p>I stand by my statements. The community, or even a handful of researchers haven&#x27;t come up with a competent path to AGI. That&#x27;s indisputable.<p><i>it&#x27;s not like we have no idea how to build a general intelligence, or what such an architecture might look like</i><p>Show me one, I&#x27;d love to see it.<p>Listen, I love everyone working on them and many are my friends; but none of the attempts today have anything near the specificity of a project management roadmap to say with any certainty that AGI is even a probable outcome. Not OpenCOG, not Numenta, not MicroPsi.<p>That&#x27;s not a hit on any of them either. The people and areas they are working on are awesome, amazing and fundamental to research but none of them would claim that they have a solid roadmap. Even the <i>roadmap sessions</i> at the conferences usually go nowhere because we just don&#x27;t know enough about how generalizable intelligence works yet.
