So what? That's one person's opinions, not based on any facts that I
can tell. I would pay attention to what Kurzweil and Hinton are doing.
Google is very much interested in AI. Maybe it is not so obvious when
search results are a little more relevant than last year, but it is
not an easy problem. I have noticed that when I write something about
data compression, I no longer see ads for compression socks and air
compressors. They are getting better.

Kurzweil says he is going to work on the language problem. That seems
to be easier than vision, but of course Google is also interested in
making images and video searchable based on their content. Maybe you
don't consider this to be AGI, but these are all prerequisite problems
that I doubt anyone is going to solve without a big budget and a lot
of computing horsepower. So don't knock it.
