Except that machines aren't making some grand objective pronouncement, sent from on high and untainted by base human nature. Machines are programmed to carry out some particular human desire. They follow that single human desire, without any of the restraint or competition of other desires, no matter how deep that path may lead.

Machines are assholes with nefarious agendas given to them either intentionally or unintentionally.

We have a brief window to get this right before the machines take over. Let's not waste it.

Though I agree, I would phrase it as "before people with machines take over". The machines themselves are tools enacting the will of whoever controls them.

and who do you think develops code for machines and whats their agenda?

Who controls the machines? Those people are a-holes too.

If they are machine overlords, then they control themselves ;)
