This begs the question, does the G-factor (IQ) curve have diminishing returns and are humans meaningfully on the diminishing returns side of the curve?

It's not at all obvious that a super AI would have an intellect incomprehensible to a human the same way a human is to a chimpanzee.

Or another way to phrase it, it's not at all obvious that an AI can exist that would be incomprehensible to a very smart human, it may however reason much faster than such a human.

Ultimately it boils down to lack of competition + enormous overheads due to regulation, legal & political risk and uncertainty.

The accidents were spectacular, even though they resulted in so very few deaths. For most people nuclear is effectively witchcraft, and selling fear is effective. The HBO series were so absurd yet so loved.

Is there a legal reason why they can't just scrape reddit and forget about API? It would be the app users doing the scraping.

But how would you do this? Sensor fusion with inertial sensors is well understood, how do you fuse g into the equation to improve things?

What would you do with the g measurement to get your location? Can g deltas be matched to sea floor contour maps? Otherwise it seems like subs would have to be following g-mapped routes.

This sort of move has no downsides for the incumbents. Either they succeed and achieve regulatory capture or they poison the well sufficiently that further regulation will not be feasible.

Ultimately, the reward for attaining an AGI agent is so high, that no matter the penalty someone will attempt it, and someone will eventually succeed. And that likelihood will ensure everyone will want to attempt it.
