The point is that the project of understanding the brain is full of Rumsfelds - unknown unknowns.

If you can tell me how to estimate the number of Rumsfelds (unknown unknowns) to be discovered in the brain, there is a point to your question/discussion Ditto there is a point to estimating the cost of AGI.

Otherwise, you're just trying to give what is actually total confusion, a patina of mathematical respectability and expertise - the last refuge of someone who should be trying to have ideas, rather than estimate what they will cost before he has the slightest conception of what they are.

Estimate the cost of "building a fair and just society" - no different from building an AGI - full of Rumsfelds.

it take you to build an equivalent of the human brain? - vision is 40-50%
brain.

And you might have noticed that my order of magnitude estimates are
consistent with this fact.

And then you might as well ask how long will it take you to build an
equivalent of the human body? - since brain/vision and body are inseparable.

You're right. You can't separate them. I said that in my 300 M lines
of code estimate.
