With the fishies?
Hmm, there's something fishy going on here..
“A pious man explained to his followers: 'It is evil to take lives and noble to save them. Each day I pledge to save a hundred lives. I drop my net in the lake and scoop out a hundred fishes. I place the fishes on the bank, where they flop and twirl. "Don't be scared," I tell those fishes. "I am saving you from drowning." Soon enough, the fishes grow calm and lie still. Yet, sad to say, I am always too late. The fishes expire. And because it is evil to waste anything, I take those dead fishes to market and I sell them for a good price. With the money I receive, I buy more nets so I can save more fishes.”

Maybe Jundo wants to extend the Dharma, noble quest.
I think that, either conceptually, by creating a dharma for the 21st century, or by reach, by creating a dharma that goes places that others haven’t gone. Maybe a bit of both.

Re: Artificial General Intelligence in 7 months?
Can't say when AGI will come but since the quick rise of self driving cars then a stall, I've heard what sounds like a fairly common coding saying, "99% of the work is the last 1%".
So I guess my uninformed opinion would be that these sorts of specific AIs will proliferate and get better, but AGI will be a ways off yet.
