"It’s not about scaling, Bill. Crows and parrots were some of the more intelligent non-humans on Earth, despite having brains smaller than a walnut. Some dolphins had brain-to-body mass ratios as high as humans, but they still never displayed human-level intelligence. The biggest brain-to-body mass ratio actually belonged to a species of shrew. What matters is the organization of the brain and the wiring that connects different subprocesses. The current thinking is that we’re either missing something basic or we’ve gone down a blind alley that we can’t step back from. JOVAH is incredibly powerful. It can process vast quantities of information in virtually no time. Its memory space and storage is almost infinite. But it’s still essentially an AMI. It still has no ability to process counterfactual thinking, experiences no WTF moments, nor does it have anything like a sense of self or any kind of internal dialog."
