1) the "safety" stuff.. - For a while, AGI will IMO be abuse-vulnerable = as safe/unsafe as those who control it. 2) "[AI] does not devalue us".. - agreed.. My view: Problems for AIs, work for robots, feelings for us. Qualia - that's where the value is. 3) AI thinking in "our way" - I agree that it's possible. Not always practical/desirable though. 4) AI not "aggressive, selfish, greedy, jealous": IMO depends on the design & data fed. 5) our AI's desires depend on us - agreed. 6) "So after the first safe AI is built, the situation will stabilize completely and any further change will always occur in a controlled way that is consistent with the original design." - IMO highly unlikely, unless the "safe" means that that AI will control *everything*. Will you forget your project if Ben demonstrates well working NM tomorrow? 7) "AIs [..] not [..] relegating humanity to extinction" - right, if well designed & safely used. 8) Many AIs/robots used as "instruments of power" by different govs/corps would require "aggressive" AI(s). - No, the aggressiveness could be just on the Govs/corps side. 9) "No 'non-human and mechanized' future." - Webster defines human as a bipedal primate mammal. I hope the future holds something better for us and the world will be more mechanized & controlled by our technology. Sorry if I read too quickly and missed something important. I have tons of AGI stuff to catch up with after months of non-AI captivity.
