Once AI Is Smarter Than Humans, Will It Really Control Humanity?

A researcher who had taken part in training large models left his job because he feared superintelligence could get out of control. Yet between being smarter and holding real power there remain capital, organizations, law, institutions, and the actions of countless people. The question worth discussing is how AI can use the markets, companies, and competitive mechanisms that already exist in modern society to keep acquiring more resources. A deeper question is whether, as AI repeatedly proves more accurate and efficient, we will voluntarily hand over more and more of our judgment. Real control may not be a machine suddenly taking over the world, but humans gradually giving up their judgment about the goals themselves.
