I mostly agree with you, though I do feel time travel and ftl travel are much less certain than ai. We don't have ready examples of the former, but we have examples of working intelligence all around us. We just don't fully understand them yet.

The general assumption is that intelligence is computational, and that consciousness will spontaneously emerge at a certain degree of complexity. These are assumptions based on our current dominant technology, the digital computer.

No real evidence that these assumptions are accurate though.
