I do remember a time, in the not too distant past, when ATS was a forum for more than writing bad sci-fi synopsis.

If we need 100 Tops to simulate the human brain then the required computational power will be reached sometime between 2004 and 2008, depending on whether we assume a doubling time of 12 or 18 months. This would be the best experimental supercomputers in the world, not necessarily the computers available to AI researchers. Depending on how much funding is forthcoming, it might take up to an additional decade before researchers experimenting with general artificial intelligence have access to machines with this capacity.
