> AI will only advance as fast as it can search, it's not a matter of pure scaling of computation, we need to scale interaction and validation as well. I think Kevin Kelly made a similar point in explaining his skepticism around intelligence explosions; even if we build something much much smarter than us, the thing will still need to do experiments to fine-tune it's (super-human nuanced) understanding of physics/biology/whatever - and the clock-cycle of external reality isn't speeding up like our computation is. I think something smarter than us could design better/more informative experiments than we could to gather information about the world. That being said, I think his/your point is insightful.
