The long awaited sequel to AI4U. :-/

If I had a an idea that I thought would greatly accelerate AGI, maybe I
would publish it so that when others developed it and proved me right, I
would get credit and worldwide game for thinking of it first.

Or maybe others would just ignore it because ideas are cheap and developing
them is hard work.

Nobody wants your amazing ideas.

Microsoft has made this an explicit policy. From
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/ms840423(v=msdn.10)

Unsolicited Idea Submission Policy
<https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/ms840423%28v=msdn.10%29#unsolicited-idea-submission-policy>

Microsoft or any of its employees do not accept or consider unsolicited
ideas, including ideas for new advertising campaigns, new promotions, new
products or technologies, processes, materials, marketing plans or new
product names. Please do not send any original creative artwork, samples,
demos, or other works. The sole purpose of this policy is to avoid
potential misunderstandings or disputes when Microsoft's products or
marketing strategies might seem similar to ideas submitted to Microsoft.
So, please do not send your unsolicited ideas to Microsoft or anyone at
Microsoft. If, despite our request that you not send us your ideas and
materials, you still send them, please understand that Microsoft makes no
assurances that your ideas and materials will be treated as confidential or
proprietary.

Apple has a nearly identical policy.

Sorry for feeding the troll.
