This feels like it's pointing in the same direction Hayek was already pointing 80 years ago. This paper says that even if we had enough computing power to solve these problems, Hayek's argument was that we still wouldnt have all the information needed to do those calculations in the first place. That information is spread across millions of people, constantly changing, and often only known locally. So even if the computation became easy, getting all the inputs would still be impossible to achieve
