I guess the AGI ideas are still not convincing and attractive enough
to other people.
Additional factor: AGI ideas are often vague or analogical. Even the
ideas with mathematically describable internals are often vague in the
explanation of what they are supposed to do, or why they are supposed to
be "intelligent". It would be harder to cooperate on a project like
that, than on developing a faster sorting algorithm. Fuzzy beliefs are
harder to communicate; communication is the essence of cooperation.
