Comment on AIFoom Debate - conclusion?

If you have any references please do provide them. I honestly don't know if there is a good write up anywhere, and I haven't the time or inclination to write one myself. Especially as it would require a very long tutorial overview of the inner workings of modern approaches to AGI to adequately explain why running a human level AGI is such a resource intensive proposal.

The tl;dr is what I wrote: learning cycles would be hours or days, and a foom would require hundreds or thousands of learning cycles at minimum. There is just no plausible way for an intelligence to magic itself to super intelligence in less than large human timescales. I don't know how to succinctly explain that without getting knee deep in AI theory though.
