It sure seems to me that the availability of cloud computing is valuable to the AGI project. There are some claims that maybe intelligent programs are still waiting on sufficient computer power, but with something like this, anybody who really thinks that and has some real software in mind has no

I guess I don't see how cloud computing is materially different from open source in so much as we see the sharing of resources and also now increased availability, no need to buy so much hardware at the outset. But it seems more a case of convenience. So what does that have to do with AGI? I
