Noted. I did not have this association myself, but got such feedback from some people.
I changed the name. Do you think there is a better word (when we try to limit ourselves to just one word)?

Overview of (Some) Biotech-Based Adult Intelligence Amplification Approaches
Thank you all for your comments and feedback! No matter how pleased I am with the active reception of my idea, the very same thing also makes me feel sad, for obvious reasons.
I agree that sending transmissions of sufficient intensity can be challenging and may be a dealbreaker. It would be great if someone did proper calculations; perhaps I will do them.
However, I want to emphasise one thing which I probably did not emphasise enough in the article itself: for me, at this point, it is more about acknowledging that something useful can be done even if AI doom is imminent and creating a list of ideas rather than discussing and implementing selected few ideas. I gave specific ideas more for the sake of illustration, although it is, of course, good if they can play out.
It may just be that suggesting additional ideas for plan E is genuinely hard, so no one did it, but maybe I did not create a proper call to action, so I am doing it now.

Thanks, yes, there was a typo!
