Dont you think silicon based AI will soon outstrip the energy it needs to run at AGI scale? Since we can already grow brain organoids (and let them spread out flat instead of being crumpled up in a ball) we could scale brain size enormously. And since human intelligence only uses 25 watts, imagine the superhuman intelligence of a 25kW brain (the energy used by a server rack). Every neighborhood could have its own superAGI. And not only that, but new brains can learn from old ones (a better approach than distilling models)
