What a silly article. Apparently if you are very intelligent, your opinion matters more than those of experts in the field regardless of your own expertise.
I have yet to see a convincing argument that AGI would indeed "take over the world". It is a technology. Like any technology, we will incrementally improve it in the directions that make the most economic sense. The fact that the design process (not to mention the adoption of new technologies) is incremental means that we will have plenty of time to steer clear of the design instabilities that would lead to such a debacle, and the fact that such instabilities are not economically beneficial ensures that even if we are short-sighted, we will still have plenty of incentive to avoid those instabilities. In other words, why on earth would we design it to do *that*?
