I don’t care about AGI. I care about who owns this AGI, whom does it serve. That’s the fundamental question. And it is the difference between a distopy where most humans become “useless eaters” or a world where humans have been freed of toil.

When someone makes a wish on the monkey's paw, as far as the end result is concerned, who that person is and what they actually want doesn't matter anywhere near as much as how much leeway the monkey's paw has in interpreting the wish.
