The article is wrong, in my opinion.
Regarding point #1, still not being formally wrong, world computing capability is growing at exponential rate. Not even the end of the Moore's law will stop that, e.g. 3D transistor stacking, strong semiconductor demand for consumer and industrial market, etc. Aso, the author don't know if there is already CPU capacity for matching human intelligence: may be the key missing is not the hardware, but software (efficient algorithms for "human" intelligence running on silicon).
Point #2 is clearly wrong. Demostration: I, for one, if still alive, and having the chance, will try to implement general purpose intelligence, "like our own". And, come on, I know no hacker able to resist that.
Again, point #3 is wrong, unless you believe we're smart because a religious "soul".
Point #4 is a void argument: the Universe itself is finite.
Point #5 is right: a superintelligence may, or may not, care at all about our problems. In the same level you don't have the guarantee of a human government caring about you (e.g. totalitarian regime).
