Alignment seems like a really hard problem, and having smarter humans could be really important.
AGI doesn’t seem to need as much intelligence—just scale what we already have, and experiments with various tweaks.
We could have highly enhanced adult humans in 30 years (although promising projects/teams are currently significantly underfunded).
This too requires us to buy serial time. Because you can’t make a baby in one month by having 9 people pregnant.
