Here’s another aspect you may not have considered. “Only” being able to automate the lower 90-99 percent of human industrial tasks results in a conventional industry explosion. Scaling continue until the 1-10 percent of humans still required is the limiting factor.
A world that has 10 to 100 times today’s entire capacity for everything (that means consumer goods, durable goods like cars, weapons, structures if factory prefab) is transformed.
And this feeds back into itself like you realize, the crew of AI researchers trying to automate themselves now has a lot more hardware to work with etc.
