That doesn't seem to make sense. There's no reason to think an "AGI can learn 1000x faster than us", unless that's your idiosyncratic definition of "real AGI". Something as smart and capable as the average human would certainly be real AGI by everyone else's definition.

Human-level AGI probably can learn "1000x faster than us" by giving it 1000x more compute, even if it ends up being something like "1000 humans thinking human speeds, but with 100gpbs (or greater) network interconnect between their minds"

Nah. You are extrapolating from zero data points.
