“This may not be the case if early AIs require quantum computing hardware, which is less likely to be plentiful and inexpensive than classical computing hardware at any given time.”
Could you explain how this might work? I’m concerned that if there is less QC hardware than classical hardware, then we would likely know less about QC hardware (compared to classical) than a nascent AI. Would it be safer to run it on, e.g., a classical “potato”? Or are you saying that a classical potato would upload itself onto better classical hardware asap, but a quantum potato would be unable to do so?
In a footnote, it is said:
