Surely its performance would be appalling on most problems - vastly inferior to a genuinely intellligent agent implemented with the same hardware technology - and so it will fail to solve many of the problems with time constraints. The idea of a GLUT seems highly impractical. However, if you really think that it would be a good way to construct an intelligent machine, go right ahead.
I agree. That's the point of the original comment- that "efficient use of resources" is as much a factor in our concept of intelligence as is "cross-domain problem-solving ability". A GLUT could have the latter, but not the former, attribute.
"Cross-domain problem-solving ability" implicitly includes the idea that some types of problem may involve resource constraints. The issue is whether that point needs further explicit emphasis - in an informal definition of intelligence.
