I don't think anybody knows more about the science of AI than Ilya Sutskever, at least nobody human, and apparently he believes that Artificial General Intelligence is boring old hat stuff because he now says "Superintelligence is within reach". That fact has scared the hell out of him. Sutskever saw something last November that spooked him and he's the one who orchestrated the attempt to kick out Sam Altman because he didn't think he was emphasizing safety enough. His attempt to get rid of Altman failed, so he left OpenAI and today started his own company called "Safe Superintelligence".

That is also my opinion. The best thing to do is just get on with it and hope for the best. Who knows we might even survive.
