> This does not seem unexpected. Google is panicked about losing the AI race and pushing resources into DeepMind is a logical step to mitigating those fears.

Google trying to "win" the super-human AGI race is even more flawed than a nation trying to "win" the nuclear arms race.

At least with a nuclear arms race we all die quickly. Super-human AGI will probably just bring about unthinkable levels of suffering before finally killing us all.
