>Does replacing current “digital intelligence” with a similar “biological intelligence” in this thought experiment provide useful parallels, or just distracting differences?
I don’t see any useful parallels—all the unknowns remain unknown. It’s not that the differences are distracting, it’s just that they aren’t real, so it’s not clear how or whether they matter.

Thank you for your comment! I agree with you in that in general, “all the unknowns remain unknown”. And, I acknowledge the limitations of this simple thought experiment. Though, one main value here could be to help to explain the concept of deciding what to do in the face of an “intelligence explosion”, with people that are not deeply engaged with AI and “digital intelligence” over all. I’ll add a note about this into the “Intro” section. Thank you.
