Yes, I know what you posted. I also know where the flaws are in everything you talked about. For example, your claim that AI is making dramatic advances in cognition is hogwash There's no truth to it. The smartest AI today can't match the cognitive ability of a mouse. The most common thing that Amazon's Alexa says is, "I don't understand what you just said." That's the default response. My post was in response to Giordano's characterization which seemed to include a fair amount of dishonesty.
Have you been absent internet access, until just today?

(PART-A)
Here are a sequence cognitive fields/tasks, where sophisticated ARTIFICIAL neural models EXCEED human-kind:
1) Language translation (eg: Skype 50+ languages)
2) Legal-conflict-resolution (eg: 'Watson')
3) Self-driving (eg: 'OTTO-Self Driving' )
5) Disease diagnosis (eg: 'Watson')
6) Medicinal drug prescription (eg: 'Watson')
7) Visual Product Sorting (eg: 'Amazon Corrigon' )
8) Help Desk Assistance ('eg: Digital Genius)
9) Mechanical Cucumber Sorting (eg: 'Makoto's Cucumber Sorter')
10) Financial Analysis (eg: 'SigFig')
11) E-Discovery Law (eg: ' Social Science Research Network.')
12) Anesthesiology (eg: 'SedaSys')
13) Music composition (eg: 'Emily')
14) Go (eg: 'Alpha Go')
n) etc, etc

Mankind has not yet mirrored the human brain in software/hardware, (as is demonstrable in groups such as Henry Markram's movement)
However, this does not remove part (PART-A) above, it is unavoidable that deep learning models already exceed humans in many cognitive (notably not all) tasks.

Tegmark? Here he is back in 2014 jabbering away about emergent properties and Integrated Information Theory. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GzCvlFRISIM. That was three years ago. What advances in machine cognition have been made by either Tegmark or IIT since then? Well, none.
At 10:30. He says, "I think consciousness is the way that information feels when it is being processed."
Well, there you go then -- consciousness solved! I'm sorry but I can't take Tegmark seriously when he talks about consciousness. He's flailing in the dark.
Example of recent machine learning work by Tegmark: https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.08225
I am curious. What advances are you working on? Any public data on that?
