Dennis, >Give $1 for the research to who?
To DARPA, but some spending rules should go with it. In collaboration with universities and the AGI community, they IMO should: 1) Develop framework(s) for AGI testing. 2) Develop criteria for picking top n AGI projects they would sponsor for limited period of time. 3) Have a huge $ prize for AGIs that score highest in an annually (?) held AGI competition - which should make it attractive enough for investors/companies to get [more] involved. 4) Keep the spending record public. 5) Have some level of democracy in spending related decisions. >In general I know, that successful research usually doesn't need massive investments. It needs small team of bright people, who could work part time. Money don't really help in break-through research. Money can help to bring proven idea to production though. Many bright folks would IMO like to work on AGI full time but limited resources force them to focus on other stuff. Money can buy their time.
