Well, if AGI evolves from infrastructure that naturally fosters intelligence, then it is probable that most intelligence gains are actually a function of better infrastructure. This suggests that individual intelligences are actually dead ends: if a new, better infrastructure comes up, you can't just port an existing AGI to it because the whole of it is organized suboptimally: training a new AGI from scratch will always be faster than to try to improve the old one. It's similar to how new software projects can innovate more easily than existing ones because they don't have legacy burdens.
