But instead of discussing the crux of which system is relevant (which has to be about details of recursive self-improvement), only the proponents will tend to talk about software-only singularity, while the opponents will talk about different systems whose scaling they see as more relevant, such as the human economy or datacenter economy.
Totally agree! Thank you for phrasing it elegantly. This is basically what I commented on Ege’s post yesterday, I asked him to engage with the actual crux and make arguments about why the software-only singularity is unlikely.
