Interesting. Yeah, I guess if the less-developed world suddenly adopted cutting-edge tech and practices, that would be enough of a boost to grow at 9%+ for a few years until they caught up to the developed countries and slowed down to developed-country rates.
What could cause that to happen, though? Shouldn’t we expect the diffusion of cutting-edge tech and practices to take place over several years (decades, even) in the absence of AGI?
China had 40 years of that kind of growth. For poor African countries there’s more then a few years of growing like that to catch up.

If someone manages to solve online teaching in a scaleable way it might be able to change the way people in developing countries run their businesses in shorter amounts of time.
Yeah, someone else suggested a novel nootropic drug as one answer—online education is basically an alternative form of that drug that is easier to realize (or at least, it’s hard is a very different way)
