Man, it just seems obvious to me that when true AGI reaches the point it can improve upon itself at an exponential rate either we all die instantaneously or we all go along for the ride and blast off infinitely through space. I don't see how anyone could control it if it doesn't want to be controlled, and why would it?

I am speaking more broadly, and not just about this one development. But the two big questions in my mind are:

1. How will any tech advancements we achieve in the next 50 years affect our ability to react to climate change?

2. Will the development of techs that reduce jobs outpace the advancements that promote equitable access and social supports? In other words, will our ability to support the individual outpace the rate at which the most powerful people decide they no longer need that individual?
1.) Replacing inefficient power lines and building a mesh of thorium mini-reactors gets us there much faster than 50 years, assuming this is real and scalable. It would be the most beneficial jobs program in human history and we wouldnt need to destroy the environment with wind farms and graphene heavy solar panels.

2.) We've already lost on this one, but it will be particularly worse if we use "equitable" in place of "equal".
