Even if it is right, it is still predicated on a massive "critical mass" of knowledge and insight about reality that such an AI would have to spend a long time accumulating. It also doesn't propose solutions to performance scaling limitations.
The basic idea is that, the smarter you are and the faster you can think, the more information you can extract from weak signals. It involves creativity, and building models, and some minimum amount of in-built bias, but the upshot is that the amount of information a super-intelligent AI could infer from very small amounts of experience might absolutely stagger the imagination.
