alt Hacker NewsI think he is using "emulate" in a more metaphorical sense, like that it can do similar things that the human brain can do? I'm not trying to be antagonistic, it just seems logical? He says the Turing test won't be passed until 2029 - if we're going by your definition of "emulate" wouldn't it have been passed the instant the brain was "emulated?"

Yes, which also demonstrates the illogic of his timeline. I just thought it was too obvious to point out.
