This makes sense. Interacting with the world is hard and poses real bottlenecks.

I think that resource acquisition is a solvable problem for such a system, robots seem mainly limited by software.

I concede that I am too certain about the linearity of it. But like, cmon man, in the limit entropy ensures that everything ends. The world could still get very weird very fast. I think that's what original comment was trying to argue, and I think it's possible within the limits you've laid out.

That's all I'm trying to argue at least. And I admit that waving my hand at linearity sounds uneducated.
