There, finally all the alternatives. So, doesn't that show that your original question was meaningless? Because, if there is any non-zero probability that the correct answer is c), should anyone really fuck around with this shit, regardless of how small the probability is?
It's a good argument. However, Pandora's box has already been opened, and people will keep experimenting with this technology, there's no going back. A key question is how long it will take to achieve such dangerous AI: one year, ten years, or a hundred years? Ilya and his colleagues believe it will happen sooner rather than later and want to take action now. So the original question remains, since it's more about the timeframe rather than whether it will happen or not
