Right, to clarify, I’m saying the curve of capability is a straight line on a log-log graph, perhaps the clearest example being the one I gave of chip design, which gives repeated doublings of output for doublings of input. I’m arguing against the “AI foom” notion of faster growth than that, e.g. each doubling taking half the time of the previous one.

So this could be falsified by continous capability curves that curve upwards on a log-log graphs, and you arguments in various other threads that the discussed situations result in continous capability curves are not strong enough to support your theory.
