>If you're theorising a AGI, that has recursive self improvement, exponential improvements seem almost unavoidable.

Prove it.

Also, AI will need resources. Hardware. Water. Electricity. Can those resources be supplied at an exponential rate? People need to calm down and stop stating things as truth when they literally have no idea.



Well said. It does seem that many who speculate on this are not taking into account limits that more/faster processing won’t actually help much. Say an algorithm is proven to be O(n!) for all cases, at a certain size of n, there’s not much that can be done if the algorithm is needed as is.


Which is why I am an agnostic. :)
