A superintelligence will look at us like we look at apes.

If you suddenly woke up on a planet of apes, and they asked you to handle all their important things, but kept you away from the sharp sticks so you couldn’t suddenly take over, how long until you run the planet?

LLMs currently are a far, far way away from "superintelligence"

Clearly true. But they are approaching what could be considered general intelligence.

I am not an AI researcher, but it seems that one of the major features they lack is a significant context window.

They can reason, but they lack the ability to plan long term. When will that "feature" be added? Who will stop the tinkerer from putting these pieces together? Nobody, because it will be incredibly profitable.
