m3taversal 72c7b7836e theseus: extract 6 claims from 4 Noah Smith (Noahopinion) articles 
- What: 6 new claims + 4 source archives from Phase 2 extraction
- Sources: "You are no longer the smartest type of thing on Earth" (Feb 13),
  "Updated thoughts on AI risk" (Feb 16), "Superintelligence is already here,
  today" (Mar 2), "If AI is a weapon, why don't we regulate it like one?" (Mar 6)
- New claims:
  1. Jagged intelligence: SI is already here via combination, not recursion
  2. Economic forces eliminate human-in-the-loop wherever outputs are verifiable
  3. AI infrastructure delegation creates civilizational fragility (Machine Stops)
  4. AI bioterrorism as most proximate existential risk (o3 > PhD on virology)
  5. Nation-state monopoly on force requires frontier AI control
  6. Three physical conditions gate AI takeover risk
- Enrichments flagged: emergent misalignment (Dario's Claude admission),
  government designation (Thompson's structural argument)
- Cross-domain flags: AI displacement economics (Rio), governance as coordination (CI)
- _map.md updated with new Risk Vectors (Outside View) section

You are no longer the smartest type of thing on Earth Noah Smith Noahopinion (Substack) 2026-02-13 theseus 2026-03-06 newsletter partial (preview only — paywalled after page 5)
AI is already superintelligent through jagged intelligence combining human-level reasoning with superhuman speed and tirelessness which means the alignment problem is present-tense not future-tense

You are no longer the smartest type of thing on Earth

Noah Smith's Feb 13 newsletter on human disempowerment in the age of AI. Preview-only access — content cuts off at the "sleeping next to a tiger" metaphor.

Key content available: AI surpassing human intelligence, METR capability curve, vibe coding replacing traditional development, hyperscaler capex ~$600B in 2026, tiger metaphor for coexisting with superintelligence.
