#2Here are a few more excellent resources on the potential and the dangers of machine intelligence. Even if you don't expect to read Nick Bostrom's Superintelligence - a deep, provocative, and thoughtful book, but also very verbose - the above links will give you an excellent primer on humanity's prospects if and when we develop a true general AI:

[Resources on Friendly and Unfriendly AI]
Unfriendly AI: What AI looks like if it does not act expressly in our interests; e.g., a universe tiled over with paper clips - http://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Unfriendly_artificial_intelli...

#3Sam Altman is an entitled bore-fest. This is the kind of thing I would expect to read in a high school magazine.

#4Why does he have to redefine words? He talks about artificial intelligence so he need not invent another term for it. It's an utterly useless practice. People are not scared! Computers are dumb, I cannot even have a household robot that cooks and vacuums for me entirely on its own. I am not scared.

thanks for these links.
They seem extremely interesting.

#6Why are humans so special? Seems like we generally feel alright ravaging Earth's existing species, so why isn't it ok for some hypothetically superior intelligence to ravage us?

Speciesism is the answer. Probably genetically hardcoded in our brains.

#8More people need to read Nick Bostrom's Superintelligence book. I'm not involved in computer science academic circles but I wonder how seriously everyone else takes this topic?

#9This is just another made up problem to wring our hands about. Remember The Singularity, is that not cool anymore?
How about we focus on actual problems that actually exist, e.g. climate change, government corruption, and income inequality.

Machine Superintelligence is basically the same thing as the singularity. you can't have one with out the other
