I feel like everyone stating that "the superintelligence is around, and has already won" in this thread is acting based on what they wish to be true, rather than what we can see based on fact.

You have turned a potentiality for which there is as yet no evidence, into a certainty. A rational mindset in general tends to frown on such things.

I feel I should clarify, for the sake of anyone that bothers to browse my profile / lurkers, I don't mean Rationality inasmuch as Jordan Peterson does[0], or any of the alt-right. I mean Rationality in the Humanist sense, i.e. the progressive Rational Wiki's left-wing approach.
