This whole story really reminds me of crypto coins. Like.. going from mining one coin, or lets say token, to millions of fractions like 0.00000000001 bitcoin a week.

There is a reason it took 4 and a half billion years for human intelligence to develop.
Around half of that was going from single celled life to multi celled life.
The complexity gets faster as you get on with it.
And the progress humanity made in the last 100 years alone... some things end up to be completely world-changing because they enable things that only were an unfeasible dream before. The invention of the printing press, sanitation, vaccines , computers, the Internet certainly are such enabler technologies.
With AI, the question is still open if this will actually turn out to be something useful or if it will in the end just be another way for the elites to make untold profits.

Yes, because it was a largely random undirected process.
Even in directed processes the low hanging fruit is harvested first.
Then you have to climb to another branch to get more fruit. The biggest issue with most problem space discovery is you're doing it blindfolded.
