### How much of a difference, conceptually, is there between Biomind and
AGI? The structure of data in gene banks is IMO remarkably similar in terms
of its messiness and multidimensionality (expression, structure, sequence,
refs to research on function and clinical outcomes) to the kind of data an
AGI would need to analyze while trying to understand the world. I realize
that many features that are analogous to human personality (rather than
cognition), the goal system, would be absent from a narrow AI, but still I
feel you should be able to get a lot of AGI mileage from Biomind. Am I
right?
