But that’s just an unfalsifiable argument that could literally argue for anything. “I’m worried AIs will figure out how to go back in time and kill our last universal common ancestor.” “Explain how that is even believable.” “AI will be too smart, I can’t.” That’s not an argument; the burden of proof is to at least explain why the proposed doom scenario is not incompatible with the laws of physics. > Their brains are not tightly restricted by size and energy. I’m not sure that’s true. Computer cycles cost real money. And the scaling required to get us to GTP-4 makes me think, assuming super intelligent AGI is even possible, it’s going to have to run up a pretty noticeable AWS bill…

For time travel there is are physical arguments why it may be impossible in principle , but there are obviously no such arguments for technology which overpowers humans. I don't think any specific example is needed to show that humans can be overpowered by an superior intellect. Just imagine highly advanced aliens visit Earth tomorrow. Yes, compute costs money, but for the human brain energy was way more restricted, since an substantial increase in energy demand would lengthen the time needed for finding food.
