What if a few of the people at the top of the AI companies believe that: 1. Their company has or will soon have super intelligent AI. 2. Humans can control that super intelligent AI. 3. Whatever company comes up with super intelligent AI first can rule the human race forever. 4. The leaders of that company will be the true rulers of mankind. 5. It is beneficial for them to be those rulers. 6. The smaller the club of rulers, the better. Then those few people might stage a very complicated coup to get other people out of the way (using AI.) None of those things have to be true. All that is necessary is for a few people at the top of an AI company to believe they are likely to be true. They might even use AI to silence people who understand what is going on. If there is anything to my hypothesis, then we should see constant low-key power shifts at the top of any company that is out in front designing the best AIs. Of course this is all conspiracy theory nonsense. We know the CIA and NSA have had this super intelligent AI for decades, and that's how they rule the world. /s
