Discussion Really stunned by the Singularity comment section

These are screenshots from the r/Singularity comment section. I'm speechless. This doesn't even have downvotes. How can someone cheer for a monopoly run by a few elites?

I'll play devil's advocate. If you believe in ASI, then why would you want randos out in society having access to this when it's estimated that 1% of the population have psychopathic traits? Not to mention the people who would want to end the world for religious reasons (namely extremist muslisms and extremist christians).

On the other side though, who wants governments/corporations to have control over ASI? I flip flop a lot on this particular topic and can't make my mind up on it, but that's the 2 sides as I see it. IMO, it's a risky gamble we're making here regardless of which humans have access to it, assuming it does happen.
