Well my dismissal of parallel systems might have been a little exaggerated. Almost all of us believe that AGI has to be based on some kind of network, and it does seem like parallelism could be put to good use for distributed networks. However, the problem is that these systems cannot be dependent on flat networks or simplistic three-dimensional networks and it is because of the possible complications of multi-dimensional systems (which might be represented by complex potential for interrelationships on a three dimensional network) which means that the more complicated cases could and probably would gum up the potential advantage of using parallel systems. (The advantage would only be low polynomial for the near future.)
