But surely that's all it takes? The human brain is just a multimodal network that processes language, visual, audio, and a bunch of other stuff.

Pay 10,000 Kenyans $2 a day to get more training data on more senses and train more networks. We'll have narrow AGIs in almost all areas. Just needs putting together with some clever insight from some genius.

If that was true then we could just train a model on all the AI research we have and get a “narrow AGI” that makes AI models. Singularity next week. Unfortunately, that is not how it is.

If they make GPT-N much larger, it will take longer and cost more to train. Then we can only afford a few trials. Whether they are selected by humans or AI makes little difference. It's going to be a crapshoot anyway, nobody knows what experiment is gonna win. The slow experimentation loop is one reason not even AGI can speed things up everytime.
