A comment on The Doomsday Invention. Parent comment
Simulating the brain isn't necessarily the path to human-level AGI though. Simulating biology in digital form tends to be inefficient.
Modern machine learning scales easily, or at least relatively easy.
>(and it could theoretically be detrimental; look at what happens to humans who have too many neuronal connections)
Perhaps a constraint of our brain's cognitive architecture and not intrinsic to cognition itself. Still, interesting point.
