Quantum entanglement?:

https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/a65368553/quantum-e...

And we’re not mathematically impossible, unless that’s some new philosophical theory: “If human intelligence is mathematically impossible, and yet it exists, then mathematics is fallible, and by inductive reasoning logic is fallible, and I can prove things with inductive reasoning, because piss off.”



Quantum entanglement is not magic that lets you bypass mathematics. Anything that's true with it is also true without it.


> then mathematics is fallible

Wasn't this essentially the conclusion of Gödel. Math, based on a set of axioms, will either have to accept that there are things that are true but can't be proven, or that there are proofs that aren't true.


Even if the brain were using quantum voodoo (and it's not: it's too messy and too hot), a machine could use the same techniques to implement AGI.
