The overall architecture is what is needed, the glue to hold the modules together. Lots of talk has been goign on about the Narrow AI pieces being used to build complete AGI. We will not be able to use much of any of the pieces directly in the core AGI, unless as Ben says they are modeled for

EDI must admit, I have never heard cortical column described as containing 10^5 neurons. The figure I have commonly seen is 10^2 neurons for a cortical column, although my understanding is that the actual number could be either less or more. I guess the 10^5 figure would relate to so-called

Benjamin, Nearly any AGI component can be used within a narrow AI, That proves my point [that AGI project can be successfully split into smaller narrow AI subprojects], right? but, the problem is, it's usually a bunch easier to make narrow AI's using components that don't have any AGI

Nearly any AGI component can be used within a narrow AI, That proves my point [that AGI project can be successfully split into smaller narrow AI subprojects], right? Yes, but it's a largely irrelevant point. Because building a narrow-AI system in an AGI-compatible way is HARDER than
