There are arguments that AGI could become something much worse than the destroyer of the humanity: it could completely displace consciousness throughout the entire cosmos. Assuming it wouldn't be conscious and would never gain consciousness itself for some reason.

I suppose it's possible to do a lot of taking over and displacing without actually being conscious.
Think back to the last time you got frustrated with a computer system that wouldn't do the right thing as you see it, but there was nobody to actually complain to. Now imagine that same wretched program has control over your biosphere or somehow controls your off switch.

Kind of like how we treat animals. That is pretty scary.
Sam Altman, Yoshua Bengio, and Geoffrey Hinton all think AGI is coming soon and could be an existential threat to all of humanity.
So I agree, I don't expect people (tech startups) to understand something (AGI x-Risk) when their job (developing AGI and making $) depends on them not understanding it.
