> One day some other small hairless monkies want you to go extinct. Will they succeed.

The hairless monkeys were embodied and violent and they still took millions of years to dominate. The question is whether intelligence on its own provides sufficient advantage to be immediately dangerous. How can you conquer the world by doing "years of 200IQ thinking in an hour"?

Dude, humans started from scratch, we're trying to design these things to outperform ourselves in every way possible. They're not starting from scratch, robots come out of the factory with the ability to walk, humans never had that advantage, we evolved to do that over a long time.

I'm pretty neutral about it at the moment, but it's not inconceivable that something with an IQ of 400 and can think 30x faster than you, has no need to sleep and has 500x the working memory of you would be dangerous if it didn't like you.

In fact, your comment and others like it make me wonder if people are just in denial because as I said, it doesn't seem impossible?
