Your reduction doesn’t cover the real risks of orthogonality, instrumental convergence, the zero margins for failure on the first try, intelligence explosions, and the impossibility of training for alignment.

Yeah, those only make it worse, but they only really apply to a bona fide superintelligence of the sort EY describes, and those are not what we have. I don't believe we're particularly close to having one.

If we're doomed, we're doomed, but please don't tell me about it.
