To elaborate just a bit on this, the article quoted in the video I was referring to... says that we're in a nation-state race for AI, as evidenced by Trump's "Stargate project".
I say OK, that may be their intention, but it just sounds silly to me. Because you can have your superintelligent AI with its "billions of scientists" (hopefully contained in a nuclear silo ten miles underground with no access to the world) producing all these massive theoretical breakthroughs in secret... OK. You will still need to somehow go out to the physical world and put some WORK to it. And the other nation-states will absolutely and definitely be WATCHING and their spies will eventually figure out what you're trying to do. Or at least that you're all of a sudden mining for whatever ore in buttfuck nowhere, and will immediately do the same somewhere else.
It just sounds very silly to me, this hope/fear that whoever unleashes it will overnight become the Absolute Overlord of the world and will be able to maintain total secrecy and information asymmetry for a sufficiently long time.

quoting nevent1q…vx3lBut anyway, my main point wasn't this, but that AGI or even hyperintelligence can produce theory and knowledge. But then you still have to translate that into material things, and materials do not move at the speed of neural networks and electrons.
