Why will we witness an intelligence explosion? Because nature has a long history of favouring big creatures with brains - and because the capability to satisfy those selection pressures has finally arrived.
The process has already resulted in enormous data-centres, the size of factories. As I have said:

Thinking about it, they are probably criticising the (genuinely dud) idea that an intelligence explosion will start suddenly at some future point with the invention of some machine - rather than gradually arising out of the growth of today's already self-improving economies and industries.
I think, both ways are still open. The intelligence explosion from a self-improving economy and the intelligence explosion from a fringe of this process.
Did you take a look at my "The Intelligence Explosion Is Happening Now"? The point is surely a matter of history - not futurism.
Yes and you are right.
Great - thanks for your effort and input.
