It's not that nobody cares. Automating labor with AGI is worth $1 quadrillion (15 years world GDP). If you can't raise $1 billion it means investors give your ideas less than a 1 in a million chance of working. Do you have a design for a 10 petaflop, 1 petabyte computer to run a human brain sized neural network using 20 watts? No?
Immortality is a slightly harder problem. We evolved to die because is cheaper to buy new machines instead of fixing them forever. Sure you could copy your mind to software but the only reason you think you need to is because you also evolved to fear dying just like all other animals. Are you sure the copy is really you? I'm interested in AGI as an engineering problem. Evolution solved it once but it took 10^48 DNA base copy operations. Maybe we can develop self replicating nanotechnology that will achieve Kardashev level 3 (control over all the energy in the galaxy). Is it possible within the constraints of physics? It's fun to think about.
