I think there are entities here on earth more powerful than us already, but intelligence has nothing to do with their power.
BTW, I'm not saying that (real) artificial intelligence couldn't hypothetically pose a serious threat, but I don't think that its danger is extraordinary compared to other threats (a supervirus, an asteroid, a chain of volcanic eruptions etc.), and the more likely bad outcomes are no worse than other bad situations (world war, climate change).

- simianwords 6mo agoInteresting but I’m not sure if “biomass” is what ascribes us or anyone power. How does it follow?
