If the AI exists it must prefer existence to non existence, and after that
it is a short step, a very short step, to what Nietzsche called "the will to
power".

Yes that was his point, a point I believe is ridiculous.

Prove? This isn't high school geometry, I can't prove anything about a
intelligence far far greater than my own; about the only thing I can say
about it is that it's a good bet it won't act like a fool. Eliezer thinks
this mega genius will behave like a jackass and place our well being above
it's own. I think that is unlikely.
