alt Hacker NewsI've been thinking lately that all the talk about a AGI, Super intelligence, AI singularity today is practically not worth considering until they are capable of generating innovations to our current processes and materials significant enough to change the economics of running a plant. It should be obvious that a world with a system capable of improving itself rapidly would first need to be capable of improving it's own hardware but before that I think we should at least see some changes in the economics of creating and running manufacturing plants.

lol. AI can't even iterate properly on a low-poly tree generator with Blender and your thinking about AGI
Agreed. Getting to the Singularity requires that the AI be capable of improving its own iteration cycle time for doubling its processor performance, across the board - which means everything from physical design to fabrication to packaging and all the logistics surrounding that; getting the chip into a working host machine, online, and into the cluster... it's going to take a lot of humans for quite a while before we really kick off into the exponentiation.
