> take several data center’s worth of compute into a brain sized vessel. So the thing can move around process the world in real time How so? I'd imagine a robot connected to the data center embodying its mind, connected via low-latency links, would have to walk pretty far to get into trouble when it comes to interacting with the environment. The speed of light is about three orders of magnitude faster than the speed of signal propagation in biological neurons, after all.

6 orders of magnitude if we use 120 m/s vs 300 km/s

  Ah, yes, I missed a “k” in that estimation!

  should've said "6 orders of magnitude if we use 120 m/s vs 300_000 km/s" - I was also off by 3 orders of magnitude!

The robot brain could be layered so that more basic functions are embedded locally while higher-level reasonings and offloaded to the cloud.
