Hey oge—thanks for the feedback. I tried to summarize the article in the intro, but maybe that didnt work. Do you think an a short abstract at the top would help? Or perhaps an outline?
An abstract as the very first thing would help. An outline would be better.
Here are the paragraphs that I thought were the main point of the article (please correct this if I’m wrong):
“These two conceptions of the brain—the universal learning machine hypothesis and the evolved modularity hypothesis—lead to very different predictions for the likely route to AGI, the expected differences between AGI and humans, and thus any consequent safety issues and strategies.”
and
“Current ANN engines can already train and run models with around 10 million neurons and 10 billion (compressed/shared) synapses on a single GPU, which suggests that the goal could soon be within the reach of a large organization. Furthermore, Moore’s Law for GPUs still has some steam left, and software advances are currently improving simulation performance at a faster rate than hardware. These trends implies that Anthropomorphic/Neuromorphic AGI could be surprisingly close, and may appear suddenly.
What kind of leverage can we exert on a short timescale?”

Done—I added the abstract as first thing under the header image, followed by an outline.
