Your argument is fundamentally broken, because nature only contains things that happen to biologically evolve, so it first has to be the result of the specific algorithm (evolution) and also the result of a random roll of a dice (the random part of it). Even if there were no self-modifying beings in nature (humans do self-modify) or self-modifying AI, it would still be prima facie possible for it to exist because all it means it is for the being to turn its optimization power at itself (this is prima facie possible, since the being is a part of the environment).
So instead of trying to think of an argument about why something that already exists is impossible, you should’ve simply considered the general principle.
No being has cellular level control. Can’t direct brain cells to grow or hormones to release etc. This is what I mean by it does not exist in nature. There is no self modification that is being propagated that AI will have.
Teleportation doesn’t exist so we shouldn’t make arguments where teleportation is part of it.
No being has cellular level control. Can’t direct brain cells to grow or hormones to release etc.
Humans can already do that, albeit indirectly. Once again, you’re “explaining” why something that already exists is impossible.
It’s sufficient for a self-modifying superhuman AI that it can do that indirectly (for it to be self-modifying), but self-modification of the source code is even easier than manipulation on the level of individual molecules.
