...let's NOT use our competitive nature which quickly turns into violence and income inequality, as a basis for designing Artifical General Intelligence.

Are animals also bottlenecked in this way? I imagine that lack of dexterous hands can be a significant disadvantage that keeps the possible action space simple.

Sounds like the script of The Maze

You asked for it.

So we just need a body for the AI and a interesting space for it to play in. How meta.

We’ve used such genetic algorithms (evolution, elitism,PSO) before but it seems not as promising sheerly because of the size of the search space. But competition was used to great effect in @DeepMindAI ‘s development of AlphaStar. Do you think AGI will follow on from GA, not NNs?

I think intelligence is not just the result of physical matter and enviromental interaction. The fact that the world is amazingly intelligible (otherwise science would noy make sense) points to an intelligence that is the root of ours, and hence beyond just physical reality.

Alternative to BD Atlas? Even MIT folks aren’t brave enough to run any RL on Atlas. Humanoid and Ant gyms are unrealistic. japanese fighting robots like Kondo KHR-3HV are pretty fast, pretty cheap (under USD 1500), but they are not popular in RL community...
