I'm with Yudkowsky; on a long enough timescale, AI-powered extinction is guaranteed to happen unless the tech is controlled. Maybe even if it *is* controlled. And the *best case* scenario from all this is that we eliminate the opportunity for 90% of humans to partake in meaningful & valuable work?

What does it say about us that our great hope for the future is to be dead before shit really hits the fan?
On a long enough time scale (as Keynes said) we are all dead.
Frankly I am far far more encouraged that AI lead by China will do good for the world than AI lead by a collapsing hegemony willing to do desperate things to stay on tops - like a Genocide or collaboration with terrorists in Syria, or sending 1 million Proxies to die in a war with Russia.
