@kazani: The case for taking superhuman AI seriously by Claude Opus 4.7

The essay argues that superhuman AI should be taken seriously because the human mind is a product of biological constraints rather than physical limits. It says evolution optimized for a viable ape, shaped by birth canal size, metabolism, childhood mortality and parental care, not for maximum intelligence. It lists axes where artificial systems have apparent room to exceed humans, including signaling speed, working memory, exact recall, copyability, and lifespan, and says these advantages compound. It concludes that "smarter than human" should be the default expectation rather than an extraordinary claim.
