Complexity and physics bound the singularity speed

The extreme 'singularity' view that AI rapidly bootstraps and fills the world with technology in days is false because it neglects the laws of physics (hardware takes time to build) and complexity — for chaotic systems like the three-body problem, the economy, or biological molecules, exponential intelligence yields only linear gains in predictability, so running experiments often beats modeling.

Evidence Quote

You have these exponential increase in computer intelligence for linear increase in ability to predict.
