One of the assumptions you make in the paper is that there will be
lots of AI's with lots of different motives, and that those with the
motives of world domination at the expense of everything else will
prevail. But realistically, people will program AI's to help
themselves or their organisations gain wealth and power, and achieving
that goal would involve preventing other people with their AI's from
gaining the upper hand. In general it's only possible to prevail if
you alone have the superior technology. This argument doesn't apply if
there is a hard take-off singularity, in which case our only hope is
to make the first AI reliably Friendly.
