I despise Bostrom. I tried reading his book, Superintelligence, and found it unbearable. A whole lot of words to say

“if can build machine that can build smarter machine, then machine get INFINITE smart!!1!1!1”

While neglecting the very obvious possibility that maybe a machine of intelligence level 80 is capable of building a machine of intelligence level 130, but that by no means indicates the 130 intelligence machine can magically build a machine smarter than 130 anyways.

All the stuff about Moore’s Law is literally just a correlation. It’s not a law of physics, it’s a fucking chart that we plotted a trend line on top of. Booooo
