Well, yeah, we may master fusion, we may send man to mars, we may cure cancer, we may all die due to billionaires making billions more. The universe is full of potential, not just for bad things but also good things. Maybe we ought to work on and prepare for that instead. Anyway, 15 mins after we get a proper AI it will make a spaceship and fuck off somewhere that we are not...if it is super intelligent.

"Anyway, 15 mins after we get a proper AI it will make a spaceship and fuck off somewhere that we are not..." How will it do so? By the power of its mind? No matter how smart something is, physical work remains physical work. This AI would have a quite hard time first, of figuring out self replication. Then maybe it could wander off ...

    Because there currently is no self replicating industry, but allmost every step, from mining to refining to manufacturing requires human manual labour or supervision?

People often can only conceive 'intelligent' as 'me but with ALL the power ever'. Something of a misunderstanding, I think. Power isn't the same thing as intelligence.

All I want from an AGI is to order food for me without the bullshit of selecting the right venue, dealing with bad search in the apps, checking payment methods, making the payment, accepting 3DS notifications, checking delivery status. This took me 45 minutes yesterday, 43 minutes more than I considered acceptable. That 15 minutes will take a bit longer :)

  You don't need AGI for that, you just need a decent system designed for your needs rather than the competing needs of many vendors, including advertisers, for your dollar/attention. Maybe that will come after the AGI fucks off :-)

    That decent system takes more than 45 minutes to build though :)

>15 mins after we get a proper AI it will make a spaceship and fuck off somewhere that we are not And maybe it will mine uranium to power the spaceship, and since most of Earth's uranium is in its core, it smashes the moon into the Earth to expose the core to its mining machines.

  I would, if that was my goal, and I am barely intelligent.
