This is naïve. It almost never works this way, where if someone has a solution to a well known unsolved engineering problem that resources just come knocking at the door. > Menawhile, unfortunately, solving all those other issues like making > parsers and trying to do word-sense disambiguation would not help one > whit to get the real theoretical task done.

Send complaints addressed to > "AGI Community", not to me, please. You are being negative! And since when have the priorities of understandings in the AGI field been standardized? Perhaps that is part the limiting factor and self-defeating narrow-mindedness.
