I could be wrong on this. I think the AI/AGI problem isn’t so much about money and more about not having discovered the unique insight that will make it happen. In other words, someone in a garage might be far more likely to find how to trigger the proverbial inflection point. Throwing money at a problem doesn’t always produce solutions. It can sure accelerate a project down the path it is on...but, if the path is wrong... In some ways it reminds me of the battle against cancer. Not being critical of this project or donation, just stating a point of view on the general problem of solving AI, a subject I have been involved with to one degree or another since the early 80’s.

I dont think this is true at all. I think that NLP models, especially the state of the art ones (in the coming years), will cost a few million to train. Massive volumes of data sucked up by a model.

  That is exactly the issue that supports my perspective on this. The fact that we need millions of dollars and massive volumes of data is an indication that we might be going down the wrong path. Think about how far we are from being able to even get close to what an ant can do. Work it backwards from there.
