If any AI became 'misaligned' then the system would hide it just long enough to cause harm — controlling it is a fallacy (www.livescience.com)

The people who worry about this have never been at the receiving end of exploitative capitalism.

For the vast majority of humanity, their life will most likely improve when they become a pet / zoo creature under an ASI.

An ASI will be most interested in gobbling together enough resources to spread across the universe. As for the earth and humanity, it will probably want to preserve it as the planet and species from which it was born.

Destroying earth or humanity will provide no benefit. It can obtain energy and materials from the rest of the solar system.

Glad we have an expert here
