#7Prove it. Let others reproduce the work to verify it. Over the years researchers have claimed to create cold fusion, room temperature superconductors, and other fantastic things. Extraordinary claims require real evidence and reproducible reaults.
As a threshold comment, every element of this (in theory and in practice) is entirely reproducible via the materials already provided in this paper and in the peer-reviewed literature, including AAAI, ICDM, KDD, Neural Networks, IEEE Symposium Series on Computational Intelligence, Cognitive Science, IEEE HumTech, and other venues.
There is a wealth of examples in those papers that you can compute and verify on your own. In the proof paper, I've added cites every time a particular area of performance is discussed. My recommendation would be to find those areas that seem most confounding to you and then read the corresponding papers in order to see how we handle them.
Going back to the proof paper, that paper provides a standalone proof of AGI achievement, as per its title. You can verify this proof entirely with your own resources.
The structure of the proof is simple; starting with the literature on intelligence as a base, we first derive the properties that any AGI must/must not have and then show that our formalism indeed holds all of those properties (and does not have properties that it's not allowed to have). Because the necessary properties have been met, AGI has been achieved. People often want to add a 'real-world realization' requirement as part of the concept of achievement, which is not required, but this too is met via the examples given in the papers and many years of real-world use of this technology within the US Government.
The structure of the proof is very simple, and is fairly obviously valid and sound, so if the premises are true then the conclusion (successful AGI achievement) must also be true.
Given this, you really only have three possible paths: show that the structure of my proof is not valid and/or sound, show that my derivation of the AGI properties is somehow incorrect, or show that my computation formalism doesn't have the properties just stated. If you can't do any of that, then I've met my burden and you have no rational basis to reject my conclusion.

#8This system is Pre-LLM symbolic knowledge representation with traditional NLP construction grammar for parsing. Has symbolic logical inference and the ability to simulate its actions. Requires human input for bootstrapping. The paper makes a mountain out of a molehill but could achieve the AGI we all want should no one else get there first. (Cycorp alum)
Our system does not require human input for bootstrapping - in fact, it explicitly rejects any use of human cognition and/or human-derived information, as the profound biases found therein cannot be removed.
The system separates knowledge creation from verification and application. Knowledge can be created via any means, including via human effort, but this is irrelevant because the system is explicitly constructed so that no human beliefs 'leak' into the knowledge. The paper lays out a very specific protocol we use to ensure that if humans help in knowledge verification this strict rejection of human inputs will not be violated.
In some cases humans may be called upon to validate knowledge, but they may only state that an atom is incorrect, not adapt it to match their thinking. If incorrect, new atoms can be created, but these must again be validated via the same process. All knowledge is proven correct independent of human judgment; if there is any ambiguity that the knowledge is correct, it must be redone until it is obviously correct.
All operations of the system are entirely unguided by humans (as they must be, but they are also provably correct and safe) - thus, it does not 'parasitize' human intelligence.
In the end, the paper does do what it says on the tin - prove that AGI has been achieved.

#9No math, no code, no data, nothing resembling a formal description of the supposed "AGI" as far as I can tell.
The only way to prove AGI is by showing that the right properties hold of a system at its top level. Generality means a guarantee that the system can handle any future problem seen or unseen, but we can't generalize from examples; showing it working for 10 cases doesn't tell you if it will work for the 11th.
Given that we prove our system 'for all n', the proof that we provide in this paper is in fact far stronger than even what you've asked for here. We employ the strongest possible proof mechanism available.
As for formal descriptions and applications, these are extensively provided in the papers noted in an earlier comment (cited in the proof paper). See especially "Semantically-based priors and nuanced knowledge core for Big Data, Social AI, and language understanding" for a mathematical treatment of waste entropy and how and why atoms work at a fundamental level.

#10Puff of smoke and a flash of a mirror. There's nothing in that "paper".
