But if we had enough compute, it'd be trivial, right? I mean, I didn't think so, but the guy I replied to seems to know so. No, in all seriousness, I realize that "extremely slowly" is an understatement.

In davidzheng's defense, I assume he likely meant a higher-level simulation of a human, one designed to act indistinguishably from an atom-level simulation.

I just think calling that "trivial with enough compute" is mistaking merely having the materials for having mastered them.
