I'm watching a video in which the narrator is going through an article that argues that Western states "must" be the ones to develop general AI, as opposed to China, for example.
The author says that broad AI will supply whatever nation that develops it with "billions of scientists", so scientific and technological development, specifically military technology, would burn through decades of human work in years or less. The culmination of this would be AGI giving birth to hyperintelligence .
I remain skeptical. It's not only the infrastructure that such levels of output require -- Stargate project or not. It's the infrastructure that *materializing* those hypothetical scientific breakthroughs require.
The AGI may very well come up with the whole tech tree required to produce a warp drive (as I said earlier, I'm stuck watching Star Trek these days). But then we have to make all those things required to produce it. New materials, new mining rigs to extract them, new plants to process them and assemble them, and so on and so forth. And what about the testing? Will we just get rid of testing? Will we accept AI models and simulations ("projections", they'll call them) instead?
I just don't see it.
