best believe in intelligence explosions because you’re already living in one and have been for decades, that’s why GDP grows, this is all continuous with the existing hyper-exponential trend, previous techs also didn’t make GDP go up much, everything was slow diffusion.
This is such a weird and self-contradictory thought. The “existing hyper-exponential trend” is the one that has a vertical asymptote within the few handfuls of years or less. Or used to be, and will be again once “number of minds having ideas” stops being dependent on human reproduction. Yes, previous techs did make GDP growth go up, when those techs meaningfully increased number of minds, number of ideas per mind, or ability to diffuse good ideas faster across minds.
