We should be so lucky to have machines outsmart us. This article fails to communicate the unfathomable chain of events such technology would set in motion. Without hyperbole, all previous events in human history would pale in comparison.

That is hyperbole; for all we know, the first human level AI (for however you define human level) might just want to read lolcats and watch sports (or study mathematics but not help us, etc.)

  That's what most humans want as well but there is a system of incentives that keep people working. Needless to say the 'productive' versions of AI will end up with a lot more computing resources than the 'lazy' ones.

  Though the first human level AI won't stay alone for long.

Hate to be a pedant, but the important thing is not intelligence that exceeds humans, but intelligence that can scale arbitrarily.
