Say you have the code/structure for an AGI all figured out

How would you know that you have it "all figured out"?

[Furthermore], the probability that you get the seed code/structure right on the first try is essentially zero

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?

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.
