Why do you put so little effort into making a case for why your system
is a serious contender? You sound almost as bad as SingularityNET's
claim (once plastered on their front page during their crowdsale) that
it is the most important software in the world. Any effort toward AGI
is obviously important. But do not conflate a successful AGI with an
attempt towards one. That seems to be a trend and it needs to stop.
This isn't an elementary school project for the children of
millenials. Everyone does not get a trophy.

Instead, we should be doing what we have been doing 10-15 years ago,
and praising the efforts of others in their AGI projects, rather than
mindlessly shilling our own. We've gotten too greedy and it's ruined
the good spirit we once had. Not pointing any fingers at anyone,
because the entire culture has become this, not any one person or
project. Shameful. You, Arthur, however, were doing it before it was
cool :P
