Funny quote below, but who in the ML community called BS on Sam Altman when he said re: OpenAI in July that "he and his team of researchers hope to build artificial general intelligence, or A.G.I., a machine that can do anything the human brain can do"? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/22/technology/open-ai-microsoft.html …https://twitter.com/Plinz/status/1194403722563993600 …

Sam Altman got a lot of flak from ML folks for that, despite this having been OpenAI’s mission from the start. I believe that he really intends to do it, yet at the moment, most of the OpenAI folks seem to still think that most progress can be made in ML.
i am just trying to show that you some pretty visible, well funded teams with lots of employees certainly claim that they are pursuing AGI; DeepMind has also often portrayed itself as trying to solve intelligence. you made it sound like I was making it up.

The Sutskever quote represents a viable hypothesis (text prediction may lead towards language understanding), even if I don't agree with it. The Forbes interpretation (an almost good enough fake may demonstrate understanding) is going too far.

You already listed about half of the existing, visible, well-funded teams working on AGI. There are several thousand who do not.
