Why wouldn’t it be possible if meat computers can do it more or less reliably? The construction of such a machine is a matter of time; whether it’s a year or a century is anyone’s guess.

When it is eventually made, though… it’s either aligned or we’re in trouble. Job cushiness will be P2 or P3 in a world where a computer can do everything economically viable better than any human.

Speak for yourself, I'm not a computer.

Your opinion on the matter is not relevant whether you are or aren't one. Besides, if our brains aren't computers, what are they?

[crabmusket]

> what are they?

They are brains. I think it's on you to prove they're the same, rather than assuming they're the same and then demanding proof they aren't!

Turing machines are universal. Anything that does anything is, at most, a Turing machine.

Turing machines are not universal. They can compute anything computable, that’s a huge difference.
