Per Thiel the computer industry is the exception to the Great Stagnation, so not sure how much it really helps. You can claim that building flying cars would take resources away from UFAI progress, though intelligence research (i.e. machine learning) is so intertwined with every industry that this is a weak argument.
How likely is it that better growth prospects in non-software industries would lead to investment dollars being drawn away from the software industry to those industries and a decrease in UFAI progress on net?
