It's a very interesting interesting thread.
I will point out that there is no representative there of the other side of that discussion, namely that AI is a threat we should be devoting resources to solving.

If a self-improving AI could exist, it would be exponential in its self-improvement. So just like a supercritical nuclear reactor, it could conceivably go from undetectable level of activity to supreme intelligence within a very short span of time.
It would be like the nuclear engineer at chernobyl saying "is only 100MW comrade, is of not problem"
Why do you think that is?
