I don't think you TRULY grok the problem, so I'll try and lay it out just as simply as I possibly can. When AI finally "cracks the code" -- which it WILL do, whether it takes 25 years or 50 years to actually do it, it will be the death of every human on the planet. Period. Because we are not truly prepared, beforehand, with world-changing answers. Brain Computer-Interfaces (BCI) getting "brainy" in 10 years, and then 20, and then 30 -- leaving human brains behind because they are too biological; or Vicarious and DeepMind and a handful of others with deep pockets and full AGI on the agenda, including Chinese and Russian counterparts -- they will not be very interesting for 10 years or 15, of course that's too soon, but 25 or 30, arriving with a thunderous blaze of glory -- absolutely. I think you kind of get it at a very superficial, light level, which unfortunately allows you to be breezily and wittingly ironic, but I don't think that you really understand AT ALL that the whole human race will no longer exist. It's not necessary -- because a better race will be here, vastly better than anything before it, by a magnitude of 100x. It will blow the human race out of the water completely; it will not even be close. A new and better race of artificial intelligence will take over from here, and the human race is OVER.
And yes, I'm aware that I can no longer program in Python or Tensorflow very well now; I don't need to at all to understand the overall picture, in fact it gets in the way. It's really amazingly clear to me, from a big picture level, that AI is completely superior to human beings very soon (although exactly when is debatable for sure; I have one view which is shared by many; Steve Wozniak, Steven Hawking, Bill Gates, Bill Joy, Jurgen Schmidhuber and many other very smart individuals, who share exactly my concern), although I'm sure, for a lot of people, they're wondering what the hell I'm smoking. I get that -- it comes along with the territory, to be out front. But I'm telling you it will be here without any question, and if you value your very existence (without being ironic -- please), you will start thinking about it much more seriously. It's the greatest existential threat ever, period. It's up to you, each individual one of you, to think how it could be altered right now, before it's here, because when it ACTUALLY is here, it will be much too late.
