Obligatory pic.

1. I'll never understand why people assume that an eventual super AI will slaughter and/or enslave us. I've never met a human being who likes mosquitoes, but I've also never met a human being who thinks that we should try to kill all mosquitoes.

2. I would reason that when the eventual mass production of AI happens, we will either have the choice of adopting some form of quasicommunism, or we will allow for the majority of the human race to go extinct due to poverty/war/what have you.

I can kind of see why many people would just automatically assume that we'll go for the latter option, as Americans in particular are extremely gung-ho about MUH CAPITALISM, and the US still has quite a bit of global influence. However, most people of other nations of the world weren't indoctrinated at their mother's teat with ideas that it's better to die than give up capitalism.

I'd argue that capitalism has passed its point of facilitating scientific and technological process, and is now hampering progress, but I guess that's a little off-topic.

>aliens: "yeah same here"

Just nope. It probably will never be complete peace between species unless we are physically (physiologically) able to integrate species/cultures/etc, but any species that touts, "EXTERMINATION IS THE BEST OPTION OK" is rather weak in the thinking processes. If you can't think of something better to do than glass a whole planet because they "might" glass you because we ""might"" glass them (completely circular logic) you are an idiot.

You have a very warped view of alien intelligences.

If we make them like humans then yes, if we make them better than human then no.

I think it says more about human nature
that we believe a super-intelligent AI's first decision would be to kill everyone.

>Yeah, but no dumbass in the world will ever build an intelligent machine - because anybody whos that smart is smart enought NOT to build that machine.
Stop watching shitty Hollywood movies. I *would* build it if I could.

Pic is now oddly related.
