Suppose the Universe is finite in volume and amount of matter. It follows that all your algorithms are actually finite state machines, not Turing machines. How does that affect your argument? Do you believe that the choice between the Universe being infinite vs it having at most 10^117 atoms directly bears on the possibility of constructing an AGI within the next 1000 years?
No, but that’s not necessarily the correct upper bound to use. The difference between infinity and, say, having only a few dozen terabytes of storage space might be important.
