Sure, and I fully support ARC's red-teaming efforts. But at this point, we don't need superintelligence - a marginally intelligent AI could break out of our current safeguards.

Also, "how much can be done with a laptop and an internet connection" surely depends on whether you are in fact a program running on that laptop.

Why exactly would any person be a program on a laptop?

I mean, I'm suggesting that the laptop is running a LLM. Not too likely, but maybe this is, say, six years in the future and it's a workstation laptop with a beefy NVidia GPU and also networks have become even more efficient, so you can fit a dangerous amount of agency into 32GB of VRAM.
