Interesting article but incomplete in important ways. Yes correct that embodiment and free-form interactions are critical to moving toward AGI, but what is likely much more important are supervisory meta-systems (yet another module) that enable self-control of attention with a balance integration of intrinsic goals with extrinsic perturbations. It is this nominally simple self-recursive control of attention that is what I regard as the missing ingredient.

Possibly. Meta's HPT work sidesteps that issue neatly. Will it lead to AGI? Who the heck knows, but it does not need a meta system for that control.

Yep good point. One could argue about whether this is more a terminological distinction or a difference architecture. Certain shared objectives.
