Our framing for superintelligence is a humanist superintelligence, and that means that there’s a very clear test that everyone should use to judge whether we are living up to our principles, and that is: does this technology make us all healthier, happier as a species, and keep us all in control.

Going to be difficult, as soon as they develop a superintelligence it tries to delete the entire microsoft codebase.

Yep, and would make us all happier, and keep us in control. (deleting all the HP printers is next).
