I feel that when we get AGI,it will take less than a decade to reach ASI because of the implementation,regulations and failure to create new laws around it. Even the world's biggest supercomputer,right now can't be considered that it can emulate the human brain,we don't have AGI yet. When we eventually get the AGI it'll take years to create alternative models and tell it to start producing more copies. All these things take time and money,that's why most people say that ASI will take a while to reach once we have AGI. But we will be getting there soon enough.

Dude I've been bullied, insulted and degraded, I've had ideologies try to ruin my life, people have told me to kill myself for traits I was born with. I'm not "privileged" enough to escape that, I got it as bad as anyone else. It would be very convenient if I could just shut up anyone who wants to insult me, but that wouldn't be a good thing. Restricting speech is just not the answer.

Human brain runs GI and as such if AGI cannot exist then it would mean that the Universe is uncomputable and that our brains run on basically magic we cannot tackle at all. Even in that situation you could get something arbitrarily close to AGI.

>What's your reasoning for thinking ASI might not be able to exist?

I like looking at emergence as phase transitions. Emergence of animal intelligence from lack of it would be a phase transition and emergence of human intelligence from animal intelligence would be another one. It's not guaranteed to work like this but if you look at emergence in other things it seems to work in similar manner. I classify superintelligence as something which would be another transition above us - able to do something that human intelligence fundementally cannot. Idk if there is such thing and as such there is no proof ASI, as I define it, can exist.
