Well I definitely think that some computational theory of mind is correct. Of course the critical difference between computationalism and clockwork analogies is that we now have formal proof of just how general computation really is. I don't believe that the embodied human mind is capable of more computation than a UTM.

That being said, comparing the brain, any animal's brain, to a commercial Intel or AMD processor is very misleading.

And I guess it's fitting that I compared the brain to a machine we don't yet know how to build...
