MIRI outputs stealth science in the same way that United Aircraft Company makes Su-75. it can be only detected by careful analysis of their spending

And like the Su-75, it's thoroughly unfit for purpose and exists to hype up the industry rather than actually serve a valuable role.

What exactly qualifies as 'super intelligence' and what could it conceivably so that differentiates it from current AI? Sounds like another big ol' bucket of bullshit to me.

Oh, that’s easy. It just needs to be worth more than 100 billion dollars, which is the value threshold for regular artificial general intelligence.
