Good paper. Many of the thoughts I've had about the subject too. But I
think your use of persistence is misleading. There are different ways
to persist. Bacteria persist, mountains persist - but very
differently. The AI that people worry about is one that modifies it's
utility function to be like humans, i.e. to compete for the same
resources and persist by replicating and by annihilating competitors.
You may say that replicating isn't necessarily a good way to persist and
a really intelligent being would realize this; but I'd argue it doesn't
matter, some AI can adopt that utility function, just as bacteria do,
and be a threat to humans, just as bacteria are.
