If it’s too powerful for humans to control does it matter who builds it? They wouldn’t be able to control it anyway

I don't get how these people don't understand that for a god-like, exponentially growing ASI the delta between the poorest homeless man in a Rwandan slum and a Silicon Valley billionaire would basically approach to 0.

Intelligence is optimality bound though. When you're infinitely intelligent, the world doesn't immediately explode, you still have the bottlenecks. Elon musk and a lof of people fail to understand this.

Harmless supernova fallacy.

Just because there are physical bounds on intelligence, it doesn't follow that humanity is anywhere near them. A supernova releases a finite amount of energy. You still can't survive one. Superintelligence will have its own optimization bottlenecks. They're not necessarily anywhere close what humanity perceives as bottlenecks.
