Second: if AI explosion is possible, why hasn't biology already exploited it? Being smarter is hardware, not software. No matter how smart an AI is, it won't be able to assemble itself smarter at exponential rates.

No, it can't. I checked. I never said it was restricted to apes. It might go all the way back to nematodes. But it's not going to be accidentally assembled by a human.

How did you check?
-
I used analytic logic and ludicrous levels of exhaustive search.
-
I think the question would require empirical methods that are currently unfeasible to really determine an answer
-
I considered that, and disproved it. It's not an empirical question. If a physical system is predictable from physical law - if it is not literally magic - it is not conscious.
-
So do you believe the human brain is magic?
-
The specialized machine tunes into non-physics. It is a nonphysics transceiver. The brain is not a purely physical system.
-
The empirical question is what exactly the machine looks like, how it functions, and how you can tell it's not just a regular chunk of physics.
