A human being is not an AGI: we lack a huge amount of knowledge and rely on continual learning instead, so continual learning is what superintelligence should mean.

Alignment failures that matter will not show up at safe capability levels, because the reason to hide misbehaviour only exists once hiding it pays.

Alignment has to be right on the first try at a dangerous level of capability, because failing at that level leaves nobody to try again.
