This article is actually pretty accurate in that it identifies that neither academy nor industry is well suited to solving AGI.

Suppose that a real solution to AGI will actually take 10 years to solve with minimal milestone achievements along the way. In other words, until you have the complete system figured out, it'll be hard to see the results.

In academia, most people are ultimately focused on getting their paper published.

In industry, most people are ultimately focused on making a profit.

In both cases, people would get off track long before they reached the full solution.

Lastly, the principles behind which a real AGI operates are likely so abstract that everyone reading this will likely be long dead by the time humans stumble upon them.

The only way we can short cut this process is by looking at the solution (ie the way Numenta is doing it).
