> If you believe AGI might be achievable any time soon, it becomes hard to work on any other problem

Not really. Its a chance at maybe something that could benefit mankind greatly, vs spending the time and money on something that definitely will help people right now (there are still a LOT of homeless people, for example, that could be helped right now and don't need an AGI that may or may not come to pass to help them).

Good feedback, and not what I intended to say. I updated my post.

By the way, just to be clear, I'm not saying that you shouldn't work on it or that I think the time/money should be spent elsewhere, just that it isn't the be all end all of possible things to work on.
