Are you worried about artificial superintelligence?
Ever since reading Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies by Nick Bostrom, I've been worried about implications or upcoming superintelligent AI takeover. You may think it's all BS, but many smart people are worried including Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Steven Hawkins, Stuart Russel, Demis Hassabis. Ray Kurzweil was hired by Google as high level exec which means Larry and Sergei share his views. It seems like we should take a possibility of this happening into account when planning out our life. Many things we are worried about and working for may not even matter of technological singularity becomes reality.

2) If we ever create a next iteration of intelligence, let’s call it superintelligence (SI), SI would know how to handle us gently so we won’t even understand that it’s taking over.
I’m personally waiting when nanobots that can make me look like young Monica Belucci start working, as Kurtzweil promised
Sooner than most people realize? Yes.
Is it imminent? No way. There are multiple ??? steps between here and there.
