Oh, okay - well, I don't think I can predict in any detail what will happen
after superintelligence comes about. I don't subscribe to the idea that
there's something specially unpredictable about superintelligence, but there
are too many variables between now and then. I think it's a question worth
revisiting in a few decades when we might have a clearer idea of the
pathways towards superintelligence in the first place.
