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)

At this point, I'm just hoping that if it happens the "damage" it does is to the rich and corrupt leaders lol

Superhuman intelligence is not threatening about AI, inhumane behavior is and corporations don't just display that occasionally but constantly.

Inhuman behaviour is a problem that scales with intelligence.

Evil cat? Lock it in a room whenever it does evil things.

Evil human? Call the police

Evil billionaire? Protest/push for law changes whenever his company does evil shit, hope it’s enough to blunt the worst of his behaviour.

Evil superhuman ai? Guess I’ll die.

Edit: to be clear, don’t think billionaires are smarter, but felt wrong to ignore them in the list, consider them the worst case of a single evil human.
