What does "conventional silicon" mean here? Does he mean that it is configured in a two-dimensional substrate?

Lee Cronin is working on chemical computers. I don't know in which way he thinks he can and has to get around the Church Turing thesis, or what specifically he has in mind, but he is smart and a very original thinker. Even if it is not going to work it is going to be interesting

He's claiming it's a hardware architecture issue, but I'm wondering how he defines a working AGI given we are a long way from anything close to a working model (not even an implementation bottleneck right now).

For any sufficiently large "we", we are far from AGI, but Lee is one of those people who think and explore independently. While I am skeptical per default, I cannot know how far he is from AGI.

also it would make one heck of a suicide note

I was pretty sure about this as well. Intelligence requires a higher level of freedom than the simple, linear modeling of normal computers. Though I considered that the algorithms themselves, if somehow allowed to naturally select and randomly mutate, it could happen.

Why so? Just distinquish algorithmic and implementation levels, and you can simulate (in silico). – Only thing so: silicon has some computational real-time limit, but why wouldn't it be scaled out w/ more compute? Why wouldn't
#AGI be a (set of) algorithmic (modules) problem? -
The thing with our animal brains is that they have multiple types of connections at different levels all happening at once. I imagine that this can't be simulated with linear processing functions.
