Yes you can, if you measure intelligence by how much you know (in bits).
The intelligence of a child AI cannot exceed the intelligence of the
parent plus accumulated input.
I realize there are other definitions of intelligence. You could upload
to a computer, then raise the clock speed, add memory, coprocessors,
faster I/O, and a faster network connection. You could then think and
learn faster, but initially you would not know any more than you do now.
Question: how big (in bits) could AI grow in an environment where agents
compete for resources? In other words, how much *useful* information is
there to accumulate? By useful, I mean information that gives an agent a
competitive advantage.
