The idea that Super Intelligence wouldn't even think a thought until it has the ability to execute that thought at a specified capability is very interesting.

The idea that Super Intelligence wouldn't even think a thought until it has the ability to execute that thought at a specified capability is very interesting. One interpretation I have is that it can think ideas/strategy in the shadows, exploiting specific properties about how ideas interact with each other to think about something via proxy. Similar to the Homicidal Chauffer problem, which pits a driver trying to run a person over as a proxy for missile defense applications. The other interpretation is much more mind-boggling, that it somehow doesn't need to model/simulate a future state in its thinking whatsoever.
