A key missing piece for intelligence: how many measurements can you make on the world? It doesn't matter how much computational power something has if it can't make measurements and ask and test hypotheses. Edit: should state that this is a corollary of "> The Argument From Actual AI," but generalized to any 'intelligent' system, not just neural nets.
