He’s specifically talking about building a computer not any more efficient than a brain algorithm wise and saying we have enough compute to do this.
He is incorrect because he is not factoring in the compute architecture. The reason you should consider my judgement is I am a working computer engineer and I have personally designed systems (for smaller scale tasks, I am not the architect for the self driving team I work for now)
Of course more efficient algorithms exist but by definition they take time and effort to find. And we do not know how much more efficient a system we can build and still have sentience.
