In retrospect I realized that it's missing not just the higher part of human consciousness but the lower one too (survival, approach/flee), which is what you mentioned. One wonders if perhaps it's not better if AIs do not have those circuits in the first place?

This is funny given this is what humans have done. I don't think you can calculate it but when you go from flying an airplane to flying to the moon in a lifespan then that's definitely steeper progress than anything that's ever come before. Population growth has only recently stopped being (truly) exponential too.
