Even if they don't want to discuss their insights "ad nauseum", I need some indication that they have new insights. Otherwise they won't be able to build AI. "Busy developing and researching" doesn't look very promising from the outside, considering how many other groups present themselves the same way.
Ben's publishing several books (well, he's already published several, but he's publishing the already written "Building Better Minds" early 2012 and a pop sci version shortly there after which are more current regarding OpenCog). I'll be writing a "practical" guide to OpenCog once we reach our 1.0 release at the end of 2012.
Ben actually does quite a lot of writing, theorizing and conferences. Whereas myself and a number of others are more concerned with the software development side of things.
We also have a wiki: http://wiki.opencog.org
What new insights are there?
Well new is relative... so without any familiarity of your knowledge on OpenCog I can't comment.
New insights relative to the current state of academia. Many of us here are up-to-date with the relevant areas (or trying to be). I'm not sure what my knowledge of OpenCog has to do with anything, as I was asking for the benefit of all onlookers too.
