FWIW I thought you were clear, but there are only so many middlebrow dismissals one can make towards AI or AGI efforts and I think I've seen them all plus the low-value threads they generate. (I've made some too, and suspect we might get brain emulations before AGI, but I try to avoid the impulse and in any case it doesn't stop me from hoping (and minor contributing) for the research on the article's load-bearing word "beneficial" to precede any realistic efforts of building the actual thing. At least the OpenAI guys aren't entirely ignorant of the importance of the "beneficial" problem.)
