Is the possibility of hyperpersuasion the crux between me and a majority of LW users?
By far my strongest argument against deploying both human genetic engg and superintelligence aligned to its creators, is the possibility of a small group of people taking over the world via hyperpersuasion.
I expect (hyper)persuasion to be just another tool in the toolbox. Possibly an important one, but probably not sufficient alone? I mean, an AI that has super hypnotic powers will probably also have super hacker powers etc.

Why won’t it be sufficient? IMO it is sufficient.
Hacking might mean it’s not necessary, agreed.
