I'm not reading into titles. I watched a lot of the videos. Don't dismiss it on your superficial evaluation of titles or prejudice about the conference.

AGI is in fact a developed field with key insights into general intelligence. You should study it.

Argonaut works in the field. I'm pretty sure (s)he knows what NIPS is and has thought about AGI some too.

I comment a lot on machine learning but I don't actually work in the field actively. I did some research in college.

There aren't many active researchers/experts commenting on HN (better things to do), which is IMO a big issue with the ML-related discussion quality on HN (it's basically 90% futurism/speculation).
