Let’s say it takes 24 hours (1 day) to build a robot. But we have infinite robot parts that need to be assembled. Each robot can build 1 robot per day.
Day 0 | 1 Robot |
Day 1 | 2 Robots |
Day 2 | 4 Robots |
Day 3 | 8 Robots |
… | … |
Day N | 2N Robots |
Day 32 | 4,294,967,296 Robots |
Robots operate on a nanosecond timescale humans just cannot compete with. The rate of progress of AI is exponential. We should expect and plan as best we can for an AI disruption.
