Ask HN: Is anyone working on AGI on a promising idea?

Yeah, I'm doing something that's basically AGI.
The motivation is largely as many futurists hold, i.e.:
> I want to cure all diseases, aging, etc.; but, that's too much research for humans to do quickly enough! We better make artificially intelligent thinkers to do it.
I don't think that the term "artificial general intelligence (AGI)" is optimal; lately, I've been calling it an "intentional system". The conceptual distinction is the focus on the dynamics of intent, whereas intelligence is a slightly-off focus as intelligence is how intention is effected rather than precisely intention itself.

Been working on something proposed by Manuel Blum (Conscious Turing Machines):

It's only a part of a possible AGI system ...

I built this a while back. Not exactly AGI but an interesting learning mechanism

Can it be yours? What are you working on for AGI?
