>We had the same exact arguments used against us under communism, ...

What nonsense. None of the credible people suggesting that superintelligence has risk are spouting generic arguments that apply to communism or any previous situation.

The question is not IF humanity will be replaced but WHEN and HOW.

Clearly, in a world with superintelligence growing at a technological pace, instead of evolutionary pace, natural humanity will not remain dominant for long.

So it makes enormous sense to worry about:

* Whether that transition will be catastrophic or peaceful.

* Whether it happens suddenly in 50 years or in a managed form over the next century.

* Whether the transition includes everyone, a few people, or none of us.
