Who has been working under this assumption for decades? It seems rather obvious to me that this is very far from reality, so I'm a bit surprised if the AI community thought the brain were a CPU for several decades.



He seems to be under several misconceptions... This one may just be a mutation of the widely accepted idea that we can in principle emulate a brain using our standard computer models, even if it'll take n more decades of hardware advances, the idea that the brain is discretely computable.
