Yeah fair, I think we just read that passage differently—I agree it’s a very important one though and quoted it in my own (favorable) review
But I read the “because it would succeed” eg as a claim that they are arguing for, not something definitionally inseparable from superintelligence
Regardless, thanks for engaging on this, and hope it’s helped to clarify some of the objections EY/NS are hearing
