> In other words: you know what beats one elite with an AI? Ten thousand well educated people each with their own AI.

So, now we'll be constantly fighting each other with endlessly evolving AIs. The world is already a cuthroat place with fierce competition.

Think of this analogy: imagine a karate match with people fighting each other. Sure, some people will get hurt but it's mostly controlled. Now imagine a world of people fighting each other by flying airplanes into each other...everyone dies.

We are unprepared for a new world where thousands of people fight for their slice of the pie with advanced AI, and it will either result in insanity or else a hugely more efficient use of resources (the FIRST thing people will do is find out how to use advanced AI to get a bigger slice of the pie) so that the natural biosphere will be even more efficiently destroyed.
