The submission heading should really be changed to the title of the paper:
"Simulation and assimilation of the digital human brain"
Beyond that, they used 14,012 GPUs each with 16GB memory to simulate a human brain, which at retail is what? roughly on the order of $7 Million or so plus a bit for fancy interconnects.
Assume you invest two orders of magnitude more, e.g. $700 million, could you get it to think like a human baby? That's couch cushion money for the FAANGs.
I feel that the only obstacles to full AGI at this point are like the obstacles for getting to the Moon in 1961 - money and a dedicated engineering effort.
