Scalability will come with time.
Back in 1999 when TeraServer was moving I backed up their data which was just under 4 tb, I had 6 fujitsu 42u racks of drive arrays. I think they were huge 8.4gb drives
in these datacenters everything is switched out every 3-6 years
the typical server which will be installed today will have 2 processors with 128 cores, and a few TB of ram, yes I know you can get more cores, but it is a trade off between cores and speed per core.
today I have 24tb drives, yes one drive 24tb and I could get larger, maybe I can put 12 drives in a server with 2tb ram and 512 logical cores, but that is only today, what about in 5 years, or 10 years
like I said scalability is only about time.
and there is no such thing as Agi yet. I dont know if there will be. maybe it will just get closer and closer and never happen.
every time today I ask an “AI” something I as reflex say “ you are full of crap “ try again and it comes up with a different answer. today what is called AI is LLM which means it regurgitates whatever it is fed
I think I read today something about how govts are trying to manipulate LLM

interesting, i’d say quantum computing has a chance of dealing with some of the scaling/processing issues. moore’s law is apparently reaching its limits. we might have to move our power sources off the earth though, unless of course we insects here don’t even matter that much. so we kind of agree on that. neural nets do have the advantage of simultaneous compute and storage, which is a major difference from traditional computing.
in terms of Kurzweil, et. al. man is Designed as a tripartite being: body, soul, and spirit. since anything in the material universe can only ape the spirit, i’d say your on very solid ground in your opinion about AGI. nothing an AI will do will reach to spirit.
that being said though, most people are very easily controlled through apeing and fascimile. we’ll have to wait and see about all that. the end is in the Lord’s hands.
Respect. The computer I'm typing on has a 2Tb drive. Sufficient for my needs. A desktop.
Now do 37 yottabytes like the NSA's Utah Data Center. Look those up and get back to me. Just for your awareness and professional courtesy. :)
