Intelligence is not magical. What matters is algorithmic complexity. At some point only throwing more computing power can help. Today, yes, maybe we could build an ai with close to human level intelligence, running on a very expensive super-computer(s) eating enormous amounts of energy. So what? Human-level ai isn't going to figure anything that humans can't figure out themselves, so it's not going to design new almost-magical ways to enhance itself. Especially because the entire human race is basically one giant parallel data processing system, although communication leaves much to be desired. Moore law isn't going to help - silicon technology is very close to stagnation [1]. I don't think singularity is possible until potential ai-accessible artificial computation capability is at least several orders of magnitude higher than human brain's, which is impossible with silicon-based technology. Nothing to worry about.
