Humans as social animals have a strong instinctual bias towards trust of con-specifics in prosperous times. Which makes sense from a game theoretic strengthen-the-tribe perspective. But I think that leaves us, as a collectively dumb mob of naked apes, entirely lacking a sensible level of paranoia in the building ASI that has no existential need for pro-social behavior.
The one salve I have for hopelessness is that perhaps the Universe will be boringly deterministic and ‘samey’ enough that ASI will find it entertaining to have agentic humans wandering around doing their mildly unpredictable thing. Although maybe it will prefer to manufacture higher levels of drama (not good for our happiness)
