Can we make humans that are 1,000 SDs smarter than current humans?

Note that perhaps there should be doubt quotation marks around human in the title. Would humans with a 1,000 SD increase in (general) cognitive ability (CA) really be human? Steve Hsu discusses his rough estimation that we can increase CA in humans around 1,000 SD by basically turning all the current alleles with negative effects into their positive or neutral variants. While the problem seems sound enough to me, I can think of some problems.
