Thank you for the response, Linas. I thought that academia was the place to go to work on cutting-edge ideas and pushing boundaries :(
However to be honest I do see what you're saying. I've personally spoken to a couple of experienced professors who've done research on machine learning and neural networks, but they seem like they don't believe in AGI, or that it is in a ridiculously away future. I can see their disbelief in their eyes. But I'm sure that in history there have been technologies that no one had believed in before their development, how did those come to fruition? What does the history manual recommend I do? Is AGI development from my basement in my free time the best I can do? How did you end up in the position that you are that allowed you to gain your expertise in AGI? Thank you. On Sunday, April 25, 2021 at 6:52:30 PM UTC-4 linas wrote: > I don't know.
