The takeover framing is deeply misleading, because normally the thing taken over is approximately unchanging, with one power taking it from another. With AI, the thing taken over is not (merely) the human world, and so the dynamic and risks are completely different. AI doesn’t need to intrude on current human interests at all (even though it might), and can still take over the Future (much greater than the current human world), at which point human interests can become irrelevant to that Future, with no takeover in the interim.
