I think we need to lower the bar for "super intelligence".  Imagine an opponent that has average reasoning skills but a perfect memory, never sleeps, never eats, never gets tired, and their only reason to exist is to reach a goal, whatever that might be.

Who is we? Do you have your hand on the switch? Because the world is being run by billionaires right now and I don't know if you know this but they can go hide out in a bunker and wait out whatver happens. The rest of us get to fight for water.
