I was warming up to re-hash my own AGI proposals again but realized I
was starting to sound like the "buddy can you spare a quadrillion" guy...
Well, the first approach that Really Should Work is to just build a brain:
https://www.humanbrainproject.eu/en/brain-simulation/
The problem is that, according to a number of sources, 7nm is the end of
the line as far as power and performance scaling for the current
technological paradigm. There are plans to move to 5nm then 3nm which
should reduce costs and improve density. Unless someone pulls a rabbit
out of the hat, hardware isn't going to save us.
Furthermore, the HBP is a science project. It's model is unlikely ever
to be fast enough for practical use, even though it will probably be
considerably faster than what the uploaders will be wanting. =P?? ( in
case it has been forgotten, I'm a legendary anti-uploading troll... )
I tried to get some numbers but couldn't find anything at a quick
glance, still the site is worth exploring tho.
Genetic algorithms can work, given sufficient time and supercomputers,
it WILL work...
Take a VR environment engineered to be AGI complete that rewards agents
to the extent that they exhibit AGI level behaviors. The evolvable
matrix of each agent can be constrained to just the mental faculties so
there won't be selection based on physical traits. Each agent will need
to have significant AGI and compute resources. The actual evolving
language will also have to be fairly powerful and expressive to have a
reasonable probability of including the AGI solution.
This approach probably will work given enough time and effort, it can be
accelerated somewhat by manually tweaking agents based on other research
from time to time. But still, it'll probably be to expensive and time
consuming to be acceptable. The resulting design will then have to be
reverse-engineered just like the brain but at least 100% of the
information will be available, where we only have fuzzy glimpses of some
parts of the brain.
The approach I strongly advocate is to build everything you can and then
hack the rest. So go ahead and create a high resolution VR simualtion,
with a high resolution virtual embodyment with, as best you can, a
functionally equivalent human nervous system. Feel free to use high
level techniques to emulate the basic function of thousands of neurons.
The point of the venture is to get the things you will eventually need
anyway working so that you can begin to narrow down what you need to solve.
Ofcourse, if you REALLY want AGI, what you need to do is get your hands
on the Necronomicon. In it, you will find the secret ritual for
summoning Cthulhu.

??Cthulhu, understandably, is quite annoyed at being summoned so make
sure you have offerings of beef and pineapple to appease him. When he,
grudgingly agrees to spare your life he will return to his own
dimension. This is your chance! Grab one of his tentacles to get a ride
into his own dimension. Space and time are a bit weird there but you
should do OK if you focus on the color green and try to move towards it.
This is because next you need a leprichaun.

Now you don't want his gold, you need him to sell you his copy of the
records of the estates of the seven elder houses. He will probably let
this go for only one or two gold coins because he doesn't know what a
treasure he has. You need these records to figure out where the Stones
of the Arcanum ended up. These stones are very ancient and have been
passed around the long fallen seven great houses of the galactic order.
The realms of these houses are now divided among ten kingdoms, you need
to figure out which ones you need to visit. Now, rightfully, these
should be treated as national treausures such as the Tesseract, or
Colnel Sander's recipe. Instead they have often been substituted with
prettier stones with fewer flaws. The arcanum stones resemble star
saphires and rubies but their structures are far more elaborate. So you
probably won't have to break into the deepest layers of the national
treasuries to get them, they'll probably be in one of the side vaults as
something valuable but ultimately unimportant. You can recognize them
with polarized lenses though, such as 3D movie glasses because the
pattern from each angle will be quite distinct and different from any
other kind of stone.
Once you have collected them, grab your bath towel and hitchhike to the
constellation Taurus. In the Pleadies star cluster there is a rogue
planet there's a stone monument like stonehenge that nobody can quite
say what it is for.???? Each of the seven cardnal stones will line up with
the stars in the cluster once every forty three earth days as the planet
rotates. On that day, place each of the seven stones in the correct
cardnal stone and wait for the beams of light to converge.
When this happens, the light from the stars will be modulated by the
facets in the stones and will form a hologram above the altar. The
Arcanum itself is said to be simultaneously beautiful and awful at the
same time. Looking at it for more than a few minutes will almost
certainly drive you mad or cause you to pass out. But, if you are smart
enough, and well studied enough, you just might be able to withstand the
arcanum. If you are still awake and sane after three hours, you will
probably have reached the twelfth stage of enlightenment and programming
AI on a computer will be utterly trivial to you now.
