I tend to agree that simulating a human brain will need more than the computational resources to train a neural network with 1 billion neurons (if those resources will ever be available, which is questionable). That's not to say we won't find a way around that problem though. Of course, all the worry about a dangerous AGI hinges on this premise, and how we get there is at best unclear at the moment.
