You can't know that if you don't have any working algorithm or theory that's able to predict required computational power... At least there is no reason to expect that when AGI is implemented, hardware existing at that time is going to provide it with exactly the resources of human being. It might be that hardware will not be ready, or that it'll be enough to run it 1000 faster. So, in event that hardware will be sufficient, it will probably be enough for AGI to run much faster than human. -- Vladimir Nesov mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=8660244&id_secret=50126912-aa8f49
