What resources are unbounded? There are limits to growth in the real world, how are these ASIs going to escape physical reality?
"Consuming unbounded resources" just means there is no limit to how many resources it could apply toward achieving its goal. As you correctly point out, the real world contains finite resources, which means any resources used to sustain life are wasted and unacceptable. Everything is a zero sum game when you think big enough.
