BTW, if we accept the Principle of Computational Equivalence, ideally a
contemporary PC is certainly capable of running an anthropomorphic AGI,
provided that you know how to program it to this effect and that "real-time"
is not a requirement of your Turing test (that is, if you can wait a few
aeons for its replies).
