That's true, to a degree. At some point you will hit both a time delay barrier inhibiting the training...
Having to learn delayed gratification is hard for an AI and hard for humans.
And then you'll hit the resource barrier. There's only so much and so hard any one person can control and influence with any given means.
100% agree here. In my younger days, I used to think that "willpower" was an unlimited resource but totally agree that there _are active limits_ to it and even more so you _cannot change things outside your control_. Someone once said that humans can only handle so many things at once and the moment you give them even one more thing than they can handle, all of the spinning plates come crashing down. I think that when we focus on learning to spin just one plate, that can snowball into learning to spin many plates, even though we still can only spin 10 plates at a time before all hell breaks loose.
And then you'll hit the resource barrier. There's only so much and so hard any one person can control and influence with any given means.
