Guess who wins in a war where one side has killer drone swarms with thermal vision, and the other one doesn't?

The only way to win this fight is to embrace the tech and put it to good use, not to shun it.

If “put it to good use” means the value of human labor drops to zero, and everyone loses their job to ASI, then violent resistance is inevitable.

It definitely is (and I would encourage that even).

But such resistance cannot be luddite if it actually wants to win. Therefore, its goal cannot be "no AI", but rather "AI used for the benefit of society".

With ASI there is no way that we can control it with absolute certainty.

Controlling something that is vastly more intelligent than humans is fundamentally difficult.
