It amazes me that people see inefficient but functional AGI
Any brute-force search utility maximizer is an “inefficient but functional AGI”. MC-AIXI may be better than brute-force, but there is no reason to panic just because it has the “AIXI” tag slapped on it. If you want something to panic about, TD-Gammon seems a better candidate. But it is 22 years old, so it doesn’t really fit into a narrative about an imminent intelligence explosion, does it?
“Well, this is obviously as far as progress in AGI will ever go in the history of the universe, so there’s nothing at all to worry about!”

Strawman.
Panic? Who’s panicking? I get excited at this stuff. It’s fun! Panic is just the party line ;-).
