The core claim is that the list of tasks where AI beats humans keeps growing, and the performance gap is widening quickly. In the quoted reply, the author links this to Bostrom’s taxonomy: today’s systems can be seen as speed superintelligence, and agentic systems coordinating to complete large tasks may also count as a form of collective superintelligence.
