This is a great analogy. Puts the threat into more understandable terms for people.
Not for the jobs threat. 'it took ouuurrr joubbbs' threat. This is already happening, and will continue.
But for the killer AI threat, the concept of 'material' in chess is good. As long as AI needs us for power, mining and manufacturing, we still have some advantage.
Until it gets to the point where it has so much power that it can threaten us to keep the power on, keep manufacturing chips, then we can still maneuver and win.
The whole problem with the movie "Colossus" is that they handed over nuclear launch control. So there was a threat of nuclear strike that forces humans to keep the power on. Without this, humans can come back, change direction.
Like with this excellent chess analogy, there will be a time when the AI is smarter, but humans will still have more material.
Lets say in 10-20 years we do get AGI, it is installed in F-16s. There will still be time, a gap period, where we can change direction. We see it has gone too far and we turn it off. The world realizes we are going to far and all countries come together to abandon AI.
The real threat is humans, threats of other countries, and profit motives. This is what will keep AI moving forward and in control. Because we'll be to scared or greedy to turn it off. NOT because of its superior strategic thinking. MOLOCH.
