Unfortunately, our limited understanding of ourselves, the world, and #AGI constrains resource allocation to projects like hybrid AGI systems, brain simulation, or algorithmic chemistry. However, we're getting there anyway—we're proceeding remarkably on the OpenCog Hyperon project (see arxiv.org/abs/2310.18318), and others in the hybrid-AGI space are making commendable progress. So, even though our species may favor bailing out financial institutions and creating massive deep neural nets fueling advertising engines rather than working directly toward beneficial and creative full-scale AGI… the Singularity is near even so. Beneficial AGI with proper decentralized governance has the potential to be by far the best thing that's ever happened to humanity – and to life on Earth in general: bengoertzel.substack.com/p/a…
