I'm a bit late in my reply as I don't have notifications setup for HN but it appears you may, so here goes.

I think that it's clear that brainpower is at the very least an important metric for determining get-stuff-down power as the vast majority of human beings to ever accomplish anything of note (financial, scientific, or military success) all possessed above average intelligence in way or another. I suppose the case might be made for different kinds of intelligence, but presumably something considered worthy of the title of ASI would be competent in any conceivable dimension of intelligence.

And if it is true that brainpower is at least an important component in whatever might make up get-stuff-done power, and assuming that the level of brainpower under a hypothetical ASI's command was effectively (in relation to a human being anyway) unbounded, then whichever other (external?) metrics potentially attributable to get-stuff-done power could presumably be compensated for by the overwhelming weight of the brainpower.

I'm curious what other metrics for get-stuff-done power you might have in mind?
