Part 2/7:
One of the key ideas gaining traction is the concept of composable architecture, also referred to as composable cognition or the symphony of thought. This approach envisions building AGI through flexible, modular systems that can compose and adapt various cognitive functions dynamically.
Shapiro points to a specific example involving Josh Bachinsky, a researcher active on the OpenAI forum, Twitter, and YouTube. Bachinsky developed a demo of an artificial cognitive entity called Cassandra, which closely mirrors concepts that Shapiro has proposed independently. Interestingly, Bachinsky shared his work after the publication of Shapiro’s book, leading to speculation about possible inspiration, although no direct link can be definitively established.
