Also, little you've written about CLAI or Swarm Connectionist AI corresponds well to what I've seen of real-world cognitive science, theoretical neuroscience, or machine learning research, so I can't see how either of those blatantly straw-man designs are going to turn into AGI. Please go read some actual scientific material rather than assuming that The Metamorphosis of Prime Intellect is up-to-date with the current literature ;-).

The content of your post was pretty good from my limited perspective, but this tone is not warranted.

Perhaps not, but I don't understand why "AI" practitioners insist on being almost as bad as philosophers for butting in and trying to explain to reality that it needs to get into their models and stay there, rather than trying to understand existing phenomena as a prelude to a general theory of cognition.
