Why people care so much about AGI in a rampage to kill us, when we are right at the verge of the problem of some very powerful humans having Artifical Almost Intelligence powerful enough to fuck us in their hubris of trying to build whatever they think is a perfect world?
I am far more concerned about election manipulation, widespread warfare, terrorism, totalitarism, informational warfare and all other unsavory things PEOPLE that control AI could possibly do to the rest of us.
These are the actual real dangers of advanced AI, and they could potentially predate any AGI/ASI problems down the road, even if it's for months, the technology close the AGI state-of-the-art level would be advanced stuff, really powerful stuff, codebreaking stuff, revolutionary military strategy making machines, total global supply of stuff absorbing systems (due to fully automated industry production, 24x7x365), capable of taking out of business even the most cash-backed current players (because of trade markets predicting very low future revenues due to impossible lower prices of the automated competition), etc.
We may probably not survive the very first wave of really advanced AI technology or we could get out in very bad shape, and then we could have AGI right there, or worst.
But we could already be quite shaken. Interesting time are coming.
