Do you think AGIs (Artificial General Intelligence) in the level of a living being are feasible? Do you believe in the technological singularity?

I've seen progress in usage and implementation of CSP, green-threads, actors etc in several languages (rust, go, scala, erlang). Experimenting with CSP implementation of go, I find it a particularly powerful and easy model for leveraging concurrency power and managing latency. I've seen attempts of including higher level models for concurrency like async in c++ (almost deprecated?), I've also looked over the executors proposal, and sorry, dunno about D in that area. What you think about these higher level models? I find them quite useful, but for C++ for example, I see no light of having something as easy as in Go. I've seen, e.g. lambdas added and it's quite usable... but I ponder whether C++, dubbed a language that fosters performance, would have these kind of utilities added in the short term. Sorry for the ignorance, does D have easy to use implementations of such models too?
