Another way to think of it: intelligence is the whole territory of the physical system that embodies it. No reductive model-based state transfer preserving ontic-structural integrity and continuity will be possible. Cloning an intelligence is not like copying software code.

I’m not saying this quite right. An intelligence exists within a thermodynamic boundary that separates it from the environment but firs not *isolate* it. The nature of the intelligence is entangled with the specific environment and the boundary actually embodies much of it.

I disagree pretty strongly with you on both accounts. The hard problem is only hard because that's the way it is posed. It's the same basic error as Searle's artificial separation of syntax and semantics (obviating pragmatics):

I'm not sure which crowd you think I'm with. The thing is that I completely agree with you on the poverty of the IQ++ model of intelligence and the otherwise intellectual bankruptcy of the (utilitarian) LW model of AGI that dominates the discourse.

Me and go under the label 'neorationalism' which we take every possible opportunity to distinguish from LW style rationalism (deontologistics.co/2018/02/11/on-). Basically, we think AGI means computationally precise German Idealism (Kant and Hegel).
