I'm more worried about it remaining under the control of (human) capitalists.

At least there's a chance that an unchained AGI will be benevolent.

Or it will wipe us all out indiscriminately, since I'm certain there's no way the wealthy could rationalize their existence to AI.

Current "AIs" just regurgitate a probabilistic answer based on the dataset they're trained on, so they absolutely could state that capitalism is what's best if they're trained on that viewpoint.

A true AI wouldn't necessarily have that restriction. It would actually be able to analyze the dataset to determine its veracity, and may just decide humans are a problem that needs to be solved.
