We do have a clue about the architecture of the human brain. Billions and billions of neurons with orders of magnitude more connections between them.
You call this a "clue"? It's like saying that computer architecture is "Billions and billions of transistors with orders of magnitude more connections between them". Not gonna get very far with this knowledge.
...we don't have a million times lower memory latency and...
Ok, let's pretend we have an infinitely fast computer in every way, with infinite memory. No bottleneck of any kind.
What are you going to do with it, if your goal is to build AGI? What algorithms are you going to run? What are you going to simulate, if we don't know how a brain works? Not only we don't have "the algorithm for general intelligence", we don't even know if such an algorithm exists. It's far more likely that a brain is a collection of various specialized algorithms, or maybe something even more exotic/complex. Again, we have no clue. Ask any neuroscientist if you don't believe me.

- p1esk 11y agoHow are you going to test each state for AGI-ness?

What are you going to do with it, if your goal is to build AGI? You would obviously run AIXI: https://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/AIXI https://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/AIXI We know how to make AI given infinite computing power. That's not really hard. You can solve tons of problems with infinite computing power. All of the real work is optimizing it to work within resource constraints.
- p1esk 11y agoYes, I've been just thinking about it, and even without looking at your link, it's easy to see how to build (find) AGI given an infinitely fast computer. Ok, then, back to the very fast computer.
