It needs more disclaimers about how this is only some kind of lower bound on how good a positive intelligence explosion could be, in the spirit of exploratory engineering, and how the actual outcome will likely be completely different, for example much less anthropomorphic.
Finally posted the final chapter!
It’s not clear for me how this follows from anything. As I read it, it implies that:
Death is quite necessary today
Death will become less necessary over time
Both don’t follow from anything in this chapter.
Thanks. I have modified that sentence for clarity.

Good idea. Added.
