Silicon-based machines do need cooling, and arguably an AGI-grade processor would be 3D, which is an even greater cooling challenge. Speaking of silicon, I'm curious why it is virtually absent of organic chemistry despite its sheer abundance on Earth. Is it because it's too hard to extract it from its oxides? Or is it just completely outclassed by carbon? Depending on the answer, it is quite possible that future AI will eschew silicon altogether and run on organic chemistry.
