By "becoming our tools" do you mean something like uploading, increasing
integration of capabilities, so that humanity ultimately becomes a race of
superintelligent beings? If so, I think that's a fine idea and I hope
something along those lines ultimately comes to pass.

I've changed my mind and conceded that friendly and unfriendly AI are both
completely infeasible, so I've switched my attention to the sort of "smarter
tools than we have now" software that it might be possible to build in our
lifetimes.
