Just for the record: To put it mildly, not everyone is 'Absolutely' sure
that AGI can't be implemented on Bill's computer.

In fact, some of us are pretty certain that that (a) current hardware is
adequate, and (b) AGI software will be with us in (much) less than 10 years.

Some people may be very, very surprised.

Absolutely not. Possibly, something like a silicon compiler
with billions to trillions asynchronous systems. Certainly not
your grandfather's computer.

No, there are physical limits. You have to go asynchronous OOP, and
fine-grained sea of gates. Even current approaches are 3d torus of nodes
of microkernel OS, soon with FPGAs & Co.
