Doesn't "We could GM a super-human biological intelligence, but not a drastically more intelligent biological intelligence" forget the presence of a super-human biological intelligence that can do a better job than us? Intelligent explosions should be as likely in carbon as in silicon.

I think that points to an important point which I wish I'd expressed in the video. The methods proposed for biological intelligence enhancement tend to be things like embryo selection, which don't scale much with increased intelligence. You do embryo selection, get smarter scientists, but there's no good reason to expect smarter scientists to be that much better at embryo selection (and iterating the loop takes decades). So you get some increased intelligence, but there isn't really the same potential for explosions

Yeah, sort of? That book is an edited volume based on his blog posts, that came out in 2015. Whereas the ebook I read was just an unedited dump of all of the posts in chronological order, that someone put together in 2011.
