The AGI race fueled by the TESCREAList goal to build “transhuman minds” (Goertzel, 2010) and bring about “unlimited intelligence” has also resulted in systems that consume more and more resources in terms of data and compute power. This lea…99. “Moore’s Law for Everything” (16 March 2021), at https://moores.samaltman.com/, accessed 31 January 2024.

Nando de Freitas appears as a passing reference in discussions of AI scaling and resource consumption, invoked implicitly in debates about the computational demands driving contemporary machine learning systems toward AGI claims. The excerpts suggest his work is being used to ground arguments about the material and environmental costs of pursuing "unlimited intelligence" through ever-larger models and datasets, countering techno-optimist narratives with attention to computational ecology and resource scarcity.
