Is this a certainty? I thought it was an open question whether quantum effects are at play in the brain, and those have a counterintuitive relationship with time (to vastly dumb things down in a way my grug mind can comprehend).

Well there’s no evidence of this that I’ve seen. If so, then maybe that is what is the blocker for AGI.

I think it's more that there isn't yet evidence against it. In other words, we're not sure or not if the brain has some kind of special sauce that doesn't just reduce to linear algebra.

"I think it's more that there isn't yet evidence against it."

We don't? AFAIK we have no proof of anyone being able to see into the future. Now maybe there are other manifestations of this, but I know of no test today that even hints at it.

Quantum effects definitely reduce to linear algebra however.

I'm aware of a counterintuitive relationship with space, but what's the one with time?
