The general assumption is that some form of Moore’s Law continues, meaning that even without major algorithmic improvements AIs will blow past human intelligence and continue improving at an exponential rate.


Yeah but there are arguments that Moore’s law won’t continue because at a certain point you can’t really get transistors closer without quantum effects messing with them


Yes, but the assumption is that Moore's law (or something like it) continues way past the point of machines surpassing human intelligence. And maybe the AIs find completely new ways to speed up computing after that.
