I tend to think in similar terms. There's so much going on under the surface with even the simplest creatures in the natural world that the physics and computational fundamentals seem really intimidating here. That's not to say that we could never get there -- certainly, many hold out hope for our abilities continuing to compound over time. But it's kind of a bummer to think about the glimmer of true AGI only materializing much further along an exponential growth curve that, to me, doesn't seem guaranteed to continue indefinitely.
