Agree with your take tbh. “Nuclear bombs do not pose an existential risk because the problem is human oversight”… Just sounds like a retreat to human oversight.

Of course there is the obvious point that even rocks are dangerous in the wrong hands, but the note is against the running sketchy idea that the risk would be inherent, instead of derived. People who are afraid of technologies but not of the state of humanity are inconsistent to the supposed awareness of said obvious...

A bernie sanders has seemingly proposed 20 years of jail to anyone who tries to implement Intelligence. You know - that Value of which there is scarcity and dire need.

We have to go on.
