Well, machine learning might have a ceiling. We just don’t know. Everything gets better, until it doesn’t.

Maybe machine learning can help us find other paths that succeed it’s limits. Or maybe it too hits roadblocks before finding the real AGI/ASI route.

There is a lot of hype right now. Some deserved, some perhaps a bit carried away.

Evolution showed there aren’t really different pathways to higher intelligence. Both vertebrate and invertebrates lead to high intelligence and devolution is hard or impossible, so the evolutionary brain would have been extremely lucky to get in the right direction two times just by luck and both seem to be basically the same. This leads me to believe there is only one way which can be build upon.

No it doesn't at all, that's just how it's happened for us. Equivalent to saying the only way to store heritable information is through DNA, only way to store energy is carbs and fat. We literally just don't know.

They had a common descendent so I don't think it's reasonable to assume this is the only way to reach higher intelligence. Your sample size is one (planet)
