Say you have the code/structure for an AGI all figured out, but it runs in real-time on a billion dollar/year supercomputer. You now have to wait decades to train/educate it up to an adult.
Furthermore, the probability that you get the seed code/structure right on the first try is essentially zero. So rather obviously - to even get AGI in the first place you need enough efficiency to run one AGI mind in real-time on something far far less than a supercomputer.
Hard to believe only for those outside ML.
How would you know that you have it "all figured out"?
Err... didn't you just say that it's not a software issue and we have already figured out what math to implement? What's the problem?
Right... build a NN a mile wide and a mile deep and let 'er rip X-/
No, I never said it is not a software issue - because the distinction between software/hardware issues is murky at best, especially in the era of ML where most of the 'software' is learned automatically.
You are trolling now - cutting my quotes out of context.
