AGI is not a death sentence for humanity. It all depends on who leverages the tool. And in any case, AGI won’t be here for decades to come.

Your sentence seems to imply that we will delegate all AI decisions to one person who can decide how he wants to use it - to build or destroy.

Strong agentic AIs are a death sentence memo pad (or a malevolent djinn lamp if you like) that anyone can write on, because the tools will be freely available to leverage. A plutonium breeder reactor in every backyard. Try not to think of paperclips.
