I used to believe that a superintelligence would basically go to infinite intelligence within a second but I think the reasoning in this post brings that speed down significantly: The process of recursive self-improvement would be extremely laborious and time consuming. I expect it to occur far faster than human research does though.
I don’t see any strong arguments here about how fast it can take off or how far it can go. You have fairly convincingly argued that limits exist. (There is still a possibility it can work around them with something exotic and weird) You haven’t got much to make strong claims that takeoff would take more than 1 second. I mean it probably will. But nothing here rules out that possibility.
