And, by various universality theorems, a sufficiently large AGI could approximate any sequence of human neuron firings to an arbitrary precision. So if the incompleteness theorem means that neural nets can never find truth, it also means that the human brain can never find truth.

Human neuron firing patterns, after all, only represent a thing; they are not the same as the thing. Your experience of seeing something isn't recreating the physical universe in your head.

Wouldn't it become harder to simulate a human brain the larger a machine is? I don't know nothing, but I think that peaky speed of light thing might pose a challenge.

simulate ≠ simulate-in-real-time

All simulation is realtime to the brain being simulated.

Sure, but that’s not the clock that’s relevant to the question of the light speed communication limits in a large computer?
