Third, and speaking directly to the argument: the idea that AGI would not be a single entity because it is not on a single machine seems somewhat muddled – GPT-4 is decidedly a singular entity despite how many machines it trained across initially and runs inference on presently because the entirety of the bounds in which it operates and is trained is collectively a singular system. Our brains are arguably not a singular entity under the same framework, as our neurons are independent and can grow and die independently of another, and regionally there are clearly independent operations in the brain. AGI will very likely be an emergent property of many different AI systems, but I believe the best suited place for that is a decentralized, crypto-economically incentivized network.
