Seems like we roughly agree on the human-only case. My thinking was that the profit margin would initially be 90-99%, which would create huge economic incentives. Though incentives and coordination were probably stronger in WW2, which could make things slower. Also 10x per year for 5 years sounds like a lot – helpful to point out they didn’t quite achieve that in WW2.
With ASI, I agree something like another 5x speed-up sounds plausible.
Thanks, great comment.
