I would say the use of the word "superintelligence" suggests he is buying into the hype, and is something "AI" companies will point at to say "See? Even our critics agree that AGI is on the way. Do you want to risk someone else making it first? Give us money and freedom from regulation or something something China."

The reality is that LLMs are not even something that can be used as an actual foundation for intelligence, and the problems with "AI" are just the next iteration of the owner class trying to use technology to fuck over the working class. The problems are economic and climate-related, and the best way to mitigate them is a realistic assessment of how much this technology is actually worth.
