Thanks for the pushback! I agree that if we are trying to copy the human brain, it’s not clear that +12 OOMs would be enough. I had my Neuromorph project to illustrate this.
Oh I don’t think we need 12 OOMs. Maybe 2. I don’t think most of the electrical details have any net effect you can’t model a simpler and equally good way. I was pointing out that the brain is a system, your argument is like saying if we had the hardware for a game console we would therefore get the benefit of the most amazing games the hardware can support.
This isn’t true, once we have sufficiently capable hardware someone will have to build up algorithms that exhibit intelligence one layer at a time. Well, starting with existing work.

However, (a) this might not be as hard as it sounds, and (b) there are other ways to TAI besides trying to copy the human brain.
