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 ------------------------------------------ Artificial General Intelligence List: AGI Permalink: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups/agi/discussions/Ta62afc437efbfa54-Mad02a7e58e2318267ecbc327 Delivery options: https://agi.topicbox.com/groups
