The hardware is now here but the algorithms are not. A crow knows not to land on sharp nails without ever having any experience stepping on one. Current architectures lack this basic intuition. Something is missing. Probably an internal world model or simulation

The crow has probably stuck its foot somewhere before and can associate the nail with that past experience. That being said, birds seem to have surprisingly complex innate behavior and even pattern recognition encoded within their brains.
or perhaps just increased computing power
How does increasing computing power help with intuition/common sense about the world? Computing power isn't magic. It has to have a way to understand the world the way animals do.
Intuition and common sense are the result of latent learning via experience. A model with the right architecture could learn the same things given the training data.
