In fact SIAI doesn't have enough money to pay for the computing hardware to make human level AI.

And so the utter difference of working assumptions is revealed.

Back of a napkin math:
10^4 neurons per supercomputer
10^11 neurons per brain
10^7 supercomputers per brain
1.3*10^6 dollars per supercomputer
1.3*10^13 dollars per brain

10^4 neurons per supercomputer
10^11 neurons per brain
