Interesting perspective. Also one I am highly sympathetic to. I'm currently writing a series of critical essays on the "singularity" concept that you might enjoy. Although I'm known as an OG transhumanist, I have strong doubts about the ability of LLM models to achieve superintelligence. I'm also very doubtful about the idea of "intelligence" a single, measurable thing.

I part ways with you on Christian theology. Not because I don't understand -- I have a long-standing interest in philosophy of religion and used to teach it. Have you writte abuot your reasons for taking it seriously? I would also be curious if you have thoughts on Frank Tipler's Physics of Immortality and Physics of Christianity.
