The AGI community has ignored it, not because it is indisputable, but because people have not bothered to criticize it.
Here’s Bill Hibbard criticizing FAI, and Ben Goertzel doing the same, and Shane Legg. Surely Pei would consider all of these people to be part of the AGI community? Perhaps Pei means that most of the AGI community has not bothered to criticize FAI, but then most of the AGI community has not bothered to criticize any particular AGI proposal, including his own NARS.
Does anyone see any other interpretation, besides that Pei is just mistaken about this?
Most likely is that Pei hasn’t heard of those critiques (you knew this but wanted Pei to be wrong instead I think), but I suspect even if he had heard of them, he’d consider them closer to CS water cooler talk than anything representative of the AGI community.
