There were some implicit assumptions in my above post:
* Human brains are physically realizable (there is no mind-body separation)
* Human level intelligence is the result of a massively parallel computer running essentially simple algorithms on large data
* Compute will follow the same Moore's law pattern
Storage is taken as a representative metric. I argue that while storage is an insufficient condition, it's a necessary one.
I agree that computation must follow suite but, to me at least, not only is the compute getting faster and cheaper, the core "fundamental algorithm" for intelligence are essentially already know and the limiting factor is the cost of storage and, to a lesser extent, compute.

- true_religion 3y agoI’m not sure AGI needs Moores law to help it. Human beings are general intelligences and our form of computing runs on extremely slow and unreliable hardware. I feel if we could crack the algorithm behind AGI, we will develop hardware to do it more efficiently much like how crypto is now run on specialized hardware.
