A potentially hostile foreign country is making tremendous progress in AGI; they've already appointed it to several governmental and research positions and are making a huge sucking noise on the money market thanks to their baby/juvenile-AGI that is about to turn mature any month/week/day/hour now.
This calls for an AGI Manhattan Project!
What problems does the project director face? What is the optimum number of geniuses working on AGI? Can there be too many? Where do we get them from? How do we choose them?
How was the real Manhattan Project structured? How wide was the top of the pyramid? How many individuals contributed to the key insights and breakthroughs?
