> Developing superhuman AI is a game you can only play once But that's not right. Stockfish is superhumanly intelligent at playing chess but it is not the result of a single match between its creator and itself. Humans played chess against computers over and over, for decades, and the "superintelligence" level was seen coming a mile off. Moreover it was never dangerous and those AI techniques never led to a general intelligence. This is the problem with AI doomers like Yudkowsky. They use rhetorical skill to make clever sounding arguments that contain fallacies, and hope you won't notice. The assumption you can only "play once" is a wild one and thrown in at the end with absolutely nothing earlier in the story supporting it or backing it up.
