How?

Likely nanotechnology. Sensors that can reside in your body and give up to the moment details, and chemical factories that we can programmatically make adjustments to the body's existing pathways (reprogramming the immune system, etc.).

In other words, better integration and faster feedback loops.

seems like dying is easier
Just wait till some small percentage people have random immune responses to the nanotechnology just creating another feedback loop in the system.
Superintelligence
Probably not a great solution....

When dealing with code we say refactor and simplify. Superintelligence my (rightfully) consider us too complicated and a 'big ball of mud' and replace us with version 2.0.

Alignment? I suppose the type of alignment needed for superintelligence is to plead with it for mercy, on some level.
