Even simplistic substitution with equivalent electronic components would be hundreds of times faster, and I'm sure we'll do better than that The way you state

The way you state that one wonders why we haven't already achieved superhuman, general AI.
if the work of the world's universities for the next 100 years was available in one year's time
But that's a fundamental misunderstanding of the character of the work that goes on in universities. Knowledge is only rarely produced by people thinking about problems. It's produced by mundane trial and error experimentation. Experiments that take time. And money.

Brain emulation is still expensive ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_brain#/media/File:Estimations_of_Human_Brain_Emulation_Required_Performance.svg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_brain#/media/File:E... It'll be interesting to see what we can learn at the different levels of emulation. > It's produced by mundane trial and error experimentation. Fair point, although experiments in computer science and applied mathematics can usually be carried out without constructing physical apparatus. Also identifying and designing experiments to efficiently characterize a problem space is a large part of experimentation. And again, once automated fabrication improves, some automated experimentation in physics and chemistry becomes possible.
