I’m deeply worried about the U.S. It’s being stripped for spare parts by large corporations as we speak. They know that it’s easier to bet against us and guarantee destruction than bet for and hope for improvement.
It will either lead to the end of the world or a post-scarcity utopia, I’m not being hyperbolic when I say I believe these are the only possible outcomes

You don’t think this superintelligence will always have a kill switch (even if it means shutting down the power grid), and therefore humans always maintaining some amount of power over it?

I believe there’s an inevitable point, if we survive that long, where that would be incredibly difficult to maintain

Depends whether it has some sort of survival instinct and starts taking measures to prevent that kill switch from being used
