My reasoning is simple, there are a whole class of problems that require embodiment, and I assume ASI would be able to solve those problems.
Regarding
> Point 1 is a big assumption. I am also not you, and although it's true that I have different goals, I share most of your human moral values and wish you no specific harm.
Yeah I also agree this a huge assumption. Why do I make that assumption? Well, to achieve cognition far beyond ours, they would have to be different from us by definition.
Maybe morals/virtues emerge as you become smarter, but I feel like that shouldn't be the null hypothesis here. This is entirely vibes based, I don't have a syllogism for it.
