Great post, strongly upvoted. I think the way you’ve described the slow takeoff fits with my world model.
One minor point, when you talk about linear activations in the human brain to what extent is this an analogy and to what extent are you speaking literally? If you mean the second, it may be helpful to include some literature backing this claim up.
I have limited understanding of neuroscience, but my understanding is that biological neurons function in a way very different to computational neurons so I raised an eyebrow during this section of the post.
