Bottleneck Objection And Partial Automation Rebuttal

The single best objection to the most important century is that one non-automatable step could bottleneck everything and prevent explosive growth; but you don't need to automate the whole economy—automating just key tech like AI itself and energy (which are less bottlenecked, e.g. robot-built AI chips and self-improving solar) could drive the growth loop, and a massive population of human-level AI thinkers could find ways around remaining bottlenecks such as simulating experiments.
