Congrats, you have independently reinvented the Hardware Overhang hypothesis: that early AGI could be very inefficient, undergo several optimization passes, and go from needing a datacenter of compute to, say, a single video game console's worth: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/75dnjiD8kv2khe9eQ/measuring-hardware-overhang https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/75dnjiD8kv2khe9eQ/measuring-...
In that scenario, you can go from 0 independent artificial intelligences to tens of millions of them, very quickly.
- UltraSane 2y agoit would seem perfectly reasonable to expect the first AIs to be very unoptimized and if the AIs are any good they will be able to optimize themselves a lot and even help design ASICs to help run them.
