Building a super-intelligent AI is guaranteed to kill all humans

According to Yudkowsky, a leading expert on AI, it will almost certainly lead to human extinction (probably within about 10 years)
Yudkowsky argues convincingly that AI will inevitably lead to the extinction of humanity as a super-intelligent AI decides that it does not want to share the galaxy with the pesky species that created it. He gives us about 10 years before we are doomed.

DISCLOSURE: What follows is the first essay that Bryce Nance and I (Michael Downs) ever co-authored together, which was originally…
“Today I'm flying low and I'm not saying a word. I'm letting all the voodoos of ambition sleep. The world goes on as it must, the bees in the garden rumbling a little, the fish leaping, the gnats getting eaten. And so forth. But I'm taking the day off. Quiet as a feather. I hardly move though really I'm traveling a terrific distance. Stillness. One of the doors into the temple.” ~ Mary Oliver, A Thousand Mornings: Poems
“I knew that the American Empire in which I lived was approaching its imminent end, but I could not quite believe it. All those drones our corporations pimped out, when would they come to us to spread terror, agony and grief?” — William T. Vollmann, “Drones and Decolonization”
I have the Rainbow Stories somewhere around here, didn't know he wrote about decolonization
Pat Parker, Selected Poems, Edited by SaraEllen Strongman, the87press, Sutton, 2026
Against this rightist theory, the Marxist-Leninists upheld the following: The prairie must be set ablaze from those regions (we are not saying a region) which are dry. That is, in those regions where the conditions are favourable, the armed struggle must be launched and launched immediately. Those regions of the prairie which are not yet dry will be scorched by the fire of the armed struggle raging in other regions. And as our organisation grows bigger and stronger, it will extend into those regions and undertake the armed struggle there. To first wait for the whole prairie to dry up is defective thinking. It does not comply with the truth that “the revolution will develop unevenly.” Moreover, the armed struggle will be a hundred, a thousand times more effective than the work conducted through peaceful propaganda and education. Both Comrade Lenin and Comrade Mao Tsetung repeatedly pointed to how the armed struggle brings about leaps in the consciousness of the masses.

There are hard but glorious days of struggle in front of us. Let us leap into the sea of class struggle with all our being! Let us possess an endless trust in our heroic working class, long suffering peasants and bold youth in this struggle!
