It doesn’t seem like it requires any incredible new insights into the brain or intelligence in general.
I think that’s why Vassar is betting on AGI: it requires insight, but the rest of the necessary technology is already here. Uploading requires an engineering project involving advances in cryobiology, ultramicrotomes, scanning electron microscopes, and computer processors. There’s no need for new insight, but the required technology advances are significant.
