The confusing thing to me is the idea that it follows from super intelligence. I don’t see why running amuck requires intelligence, in fact it can be the most brain dead thing like the sorcerer’s apprentice, your creation is pursuing a goal without being able to weigh the consequences.


Intelligence gives it the capability to reach its goals (against obstacles).


Again intelligence is not required, goal seeking is well studied and simple strategies can suffice to overcome obstacles. And I noticed you didn’t claim super intelligence was required, which is what I was really talking about.
