#3Why do we think AI will have motivations like a greedy human might? Why do we think AI will have motivations at all? Why do we think such AI is a pressing threat?

#4Is there a chess game where you can toggle the level of AI with ease? I ask for my kids and myself as I am a poor chess player.

Because you can’t stop people, companies and/or countries from creating AI with those motivations.

If only chess were a nice allegory for life.

#7So, the solution is not to play on a battlefield where the AI has an advantage.
Instead play with humans and have fun.
Meanwhile all battlefields will one-by-one become battlefields where the AI has the advantage. Because in the end almost every contest between humans is either one based on strength or on speed and the AI will always be able to match us for speed.
And strength has long been the domain of machines, couple machines with AI and you lose all of these as well and you lose them faster.
The biggest question to me is this one: "Does it matter?" Do we really care if there is an entity that is smarter than we are? Because after all all of the battlefields are of our own making. And I think the answer is yes because the first thing that tends to happen with new tech is that it is weaponized. And weaponized AI could easily translate into dominance by whichever party gets to it first.

I’m not afraid of the motivations of a hypothetical strong AI… I’m absolutely terrified of the motivations of those who can afford to employ weak AI.

I'm not worried about the AI, I'm worried about the people and companies that have it.

Since the 1980's there have been chess computers with levels that you could set that would handily defeat most club level chess players.
The Stockfish software from TFA is a very far removed descendant from those early dedicated chess computers and usually you can set the level of your opponent by limiting the depth of search to a certain number of ply. That alone is a powerful switch to control how well it plays.
