What analysis? You posted nothing concrete enough to analyze, so I didn't
try. I asked you to post something concrete. If you do that, I'll be happy
to analyze it.

What else could I do? Nothing else useful can be said about extremely
general arguments like that.

Didn't you read the bit where I said I don't see anything AGI-relevant in
Santa Fe's work? If I did, I'd be on it. I don't. You say you do, so by all
means go ahead and explain in specific, concrete terms what model you've
arrived at as a result.
