Sorry for derailing this a bit, but I would really like to understand your view:
You are not concerned about any "rogue AI" scenario, right?
What makes you so confident in that?
1) Do you think that AI achieving superhuman cognitive abilities is unlikely/really far away?
2) Do you believe that cognitive superiority is not a threat in general, or specifically when not embodied?
3) Do you think we can trivially and indefinitely keep AI systems under control/"aligned"?
Because I view myself ABSOLUTELY not as some kind of AI luddite, but I honestly believe that this is one of the very few credible extinction threats that we face, and I'm counting NEITHER climate change nor nuclear war in that category, for reference.
