Different kinds of WBE
- hi-fi
- lo-fi
i'm not sure if hi-fi/lo-fi is about the resolution at which the brain is emulated, or if it's about something else.
Distinction between magically obtaining and the expected ways of obtaining
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)
