Here's an recent assessment from an actual AI researcher. http://kruel.co/2015/02/05/interview-with-michael-littman-on-ai-risks/ http://kruel.co/2015/02/05/interview-with-michael-littman-on... The threat of super AI is like the threat of nanotechnology. Fun and exciting to think about in a scifi way, but less and less credible the more you wade into the details. Kruel's blog in general has a lot of nice skeptical responses to Yudkowsky Thought.

The funny thing about dismissing the threat of nanotechnology is that people seem to be blind that there is real nanotechnology and it is killing people all day, caused massive deaths in the past and we have invested enormous amount of resources in order to protect ourselves from it. Life is nothing but a nanotechnology that wasn't designed by us and that we don't control yet. Replace "nanotech" with "pathogens", take a look at the state of bio industry in the last 50 years, and tell me again if this is surreal or not dangerous.
