We're talking about an AI so intelligent that it would have no reason to give a shit about us and see us as pests just like a lot of people do with ants.

Why would our ambitions and existence be even remotely important to an intelligence so beyond us that it considered us nothing but a pest?

We're not talking about anything going on a killing spree. We're not talking about robots remember.


Right. OK. And what's it going to do? How would it do it? Why would we give it the means to do it?

If we're not talking about robots, then what are we talking about? What can it do?
