> this sounds more like an overwhelming paranoia of power
You call it overwhelming paranoia, I call it well supported skepticism about power based on the observed history of humankind so far. The promise, and danger of AGIs is that they are intelectual force multipliers of great power. So if not properly treated they will also magnify inequalities in power.
But in general your observation that I’m not saying anything new about humans is true! This is just the age old story applied to a new technological development. That is why i find it strange how much pushback it received.
