Thanks for the reply!

I'm also curious in your answer to Eliezer about why you assume 1 GPU.

But a few other questions:

1. You say: "human evolution has spent quite a while in an adverserial environment - the smarter you are, the more you win". Again, maybe I'm missing something in modern evolutionary thinking, but why that assumption? I always thought the consensus was that we were as minimally smart as required.

2. You seem to be under the assumption that today's most popular algo's (namely neural networks) are definitely for sure the thing that's going to become an AGI, but why that assumption? The more broad idea of some algorithm/method bringing us an AGI is more probable than specifically neural networks.

You also write: "I definitely think you could do better, I just don't think you're going to do it with a paradigm that looks vaguely like the brain". Again, why the assumption that whatever will be built will have to even resemble the human brain?
