Where will artificial general intelligence come from?

Unless it were possible for each objective function to converge to a next one that slightly extends the current one. However, what would the starting point be? Is this mathematically definable? What does the (im)possibility to define such a function tell us about AI?

The starting place is simulation. We use games (and other kinds of sims) to learn to act intelligently in a virtual environment. In such a place we can define many tasks and a learning curriculum.

Make them hierarchical. Starting point is to survive.

Bacteria are good at surviving.

Can you think of a better starting point?
