Also one of the things the Yuddites seem incapable of doing is figuring out that superintelligence does not mean omnipotence. The laws of physics will still work
I call this magical thinking. The idea that AI will discover some magic that makes them easily superior to humans.
I don't say "magic" to crap on this idea. There is the famous quote ~ "any sufficiently advanced techno is indistinguishable from magic".
I think of IQ as leverage over physical forces. But undiscovered physics could amount to a cheat button.

Definitely eating way less and drinking less alcohol. Barely any desire for food. I have yet to feel hungry a single time. I've dropped a few pounds, but its hard to know if that's real.
@CertainlyWorse you said you were curious how it's gone. I'll maybe update again at 5 weeks when I go back to the doctor.
You are kinda asking what are the unknown unknowns.
Or at least the bigger question of how much of phyiscs have we uncovered?
I don't really know the answer. I will say that nuclear physics looks weird given everything you might be able to learn about the world. And nuclear physics gives us nuclear bombs.
Is there some force of nature we don't understand that is manipulable and offers large amounts of leverage? I don't know. That is the the question in my mind.
