I don't think building an UFAI is something that you can simply achieve by throwing hardware at it.
I'm also optimistic over improving human reasoning ability over longer timeframes.
No, it can't be done by brute-force alone, but faster hardware means faster feedback and that means more efficient research.
Also, once we have computers that are fast enough to just simulate a human brain, it becomes comparatively easy to hack an AI together by just simulating a human brain and seeing what happens when you change stuff. Besides the ethical concerns, this would also be insanely dangerous.
