Brains are physical systems, and physical systems can be simulated by algorithms. Right? Do the authors think this 'jury-rigging' is some non-physical process?
- dinkumthinkum 4y agoWhat do you mean by simulation? You can simulate an airplane without considering air resistance; it’s not necessarily an accurate simulation.

I guess they are so meta they wondered if a dedicated AI could output an AGI agent, algorithmically. As far as their colloquial definition which speaks of jury-rigging is truly intelligent, I suspect that the road to AGI would require so much human input and reboots (have you tried turning it on and off again?) that it is not predictable by any physical theory. So it's non-physical in a strong definition of physics. On the other hand, since they argue against classical computing, it would necessarily rely on innovative developments in various hard sciences.
