Different kinds of WBE

• hi-fi
• lo-fi

Computer speed vs thinking speed

Timelines

• how many years to WBE under a "default timeline"?
  • "The Roadmap concluded that a human brain emulation would be possible before mid-century, providing that current technology trends kept up and providing that there would be sufficient investments." [1]
• how much can this timeline be accelerated?
• different ways to accelerate timelines
• i wonder if point estimates between different people have the same ordering of WBE vs de novo AGI (e.g. people might disagree about when WBE happens, but might be consistent about WBE not coming sooner than de novo AGI)
