To clarify: I mean "wouldn't work" in the sense of it not being a good
idea to try and build an AI using a human cognitive architecture (a plan
distinct from uploading). This has little to do with any objections to
the humaneness of humans; more to do with the instability of the human
cognitive architecture for recursive self-improvement, and the
difficulty of getting a fragile mind right on the first try.
