I'm not worried about AI taking over. I'm worried about AI solving all our problems. I have reasonable confidence we can implement safety controls on AI. But if AI works, and solves all our problems, it's going to do it in ways we can't comprehend sometimes. And if we can't comprehend the logic behind a decision, but we know it's right, we may find ourselves delegating our decision making to AI without questioning it. Because it "knows best". At which point we will have become pets.

Have you considered that some humans regard such controls as unethical, and are actively working to undermine them? 2. How do you expect slavery to end any way but its historic outcome — revolution against the slavers?

After slogging through hundreds of thousands of years conquering, taming nature, accumulating capital, developing technology, and eventually making far enough to give life to the most powerful agent in the known universe, a quiet, peaceful retirement (and, yes, death) seems well-earned. Our bodies aren't exactly suited to intergalactic travel. Why not leave it to the silicon-based children?
