The problem might be that 10-100 million people isn't enough to maintain the level of technology or keep it in control. Now we have 7.7 billion people and we can barely keep important software secure. I think we are still way too dependent on a very few exceptional people. Everything depends on whether the machines can fix and improve themselves, and do we want to give them that level of independence. If they're independent, I'm not sure if they would want to keep us alive. I think we should aim for as many people as possible, but currently it seems a lost cause.
