This raises an interesting question I’ve seen occasionally addressed in science fiction before:

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?

could today's seemingly "superintelligence" models run on 10-20 years old hardware? probably it works.
