All the succeeding paths to superintelligence seem causally downstream of Moore’s law:
AI research—which is accelerated by Moore’s law as per scaling laws
Human genetic engineering—which is accelerated by next generation sequencing and nanopore sequencing, which is accelerated by circuit miniaturisation, which is accelerated by Moore’s law
Human brain connectome research—which is accelerated by fruitfly connectome, which is accelerated by electron microscopy, which is accelerated by Moore’s law
Succeeding path to cheap energy also follows same:
Solar energy—literally shares one-third of the production process with microprocessors, but the bulk not miniaturised version of the process
Increased surveillance also follows same:
Gigapixel camera lenses—accelerated by circuit miniaturisation and fitting more detectors per unit length, accelerated by Moore’s law
Do you mean Moore’s law in the literal sense of transistors on a chip, or something more general like “hardware always gets more efficient”?
I’m mentioning this because much of what I’ve been hearing in the past few years w.r.t Moore’s law has been “Moore’s law is dead.”
And, assuming you’re not referring to the transistor thing: what is your more specific Moore’s Law definition? Any specific scaling law, or maybe scaling laws specific to each of the examples you posted?
I mean R&D of packing more transistors on a chip, and the casually downstream stuff such as R&D of miniaturisation of detectors, transducers, diodes, amplifiers etc

(Invoking Cunningham’s law for this post)
