or are you setting the scene for well-meaning technocrats to back unrestricted AI development in hopes it will bring about utopia while dismissing the damage it could cause in the hands of adversarial groups?

tl;dr super AI is like a necessary bush fire

AI isn't that scary. But I've also got some extreme minority opinions like "Never give a website your real name" and "Computers should not be used for banking" and "Don't believe anything you hear online".

The worst I see AI/ML doing to society is shining an unmistakable light onto the blind spots people have already been exploiting for decades. Y2k forced us to patch the integer bug. Super AI will force us to reevaluate what cyber security even is.

Yes but don't we still try to control brush fires so they don't burn down neighborhoods?
