After years of reading Yudkowsky/LessWrong, I find it hard to take these kinds of articles seriously. They're talking about a future where AI actually exists, and not letting their imagination get even close to the true repercussions. When you suddenly have an intelligent species running around that's vastly more intelligent than humans, it's hard to even imagine what it will mean, but "there will be vast transfers of wealth" is not even close. More like "the world will be unimaginably different", or more likely "the world will be destroyed". For more in-depth looks at these things: LessWrong.com and intelligence.org.
