Except also energy constraints.

But I agree, there’s no reason to believe humans are the universal limit on cognitive abilities

The energy constraints for chips are more about heat dissipation. But we can pump a lot more energy through them per unit volume than through the human brain.

Especially if you are willing to pay a lot for active cooling with eg liquid helium.

A constraint is still a constraint
A constraint that's not binding might as well not exist.
