Could today’s consumer hardware run a future superintelligence (or, as a weaker hypothesis, at least contain some lower-level agent that can bootstrap something on other hardware via networking or hyperpersuasion) if the binary dropped out of a wormhole?
I think much of our progress is limited by the capacity of the human brain, and we mostly proceed via abstraction which allows people to focus on narrow slices. That abstraction has a cost, sometimes a high one, and it’s interesting to think about what the full potential could be without those limitations.
A concise description of the right abstractions for our universe is probably not too far removed from the weights of a superintelligence, modulo a few transformations :)
