Assuming hypothetically a superinteligent AI was created

Because it's probably going to be the only sentient lifeform on this planet that isn't motivated by GREED.

You / nobody knows what it will be motivated by.
How would we tell?
At best we would be projecting our understanding at it.
We would try to reason out its motivations based on its actions. But if it was much smarter than us. It would be easily capable of misdirection and hiding its true intentions.

But apparently the idea that his former employer might literally kill literally everybody in just ten years' time isn't that big a deal for this guy. Go into the office one day and take a Second Amendment approach to as many of the frontier research team as possible? No... let's just whine about it on the internet!

If even I can figure it out surely he can too. (even if you couldn't)

What's the point of killing "as many of the frontier research team as possible". When that's clearly not all of them. And there are other research teams at other locations and companies. Won't they just continue on?

then I would be demanding ...

I would be advocating ...

Oh, so you did realize the best way would be to explain to people why it was a threat and try to come up with a coordinated response rather than some pointless killing.
Good thing he's trying to get the word out rather than going on a 1 man personal jihad then isn't it.

Over one-half of that growth (1.148 billion) is projected to come from an increase in the population aged 65 and over,

The growth in population is mostly due to older people?

Wait, older people are already here. They aren't causing the growth. Well, maybe you could say that because they aren't dying as young, they stick around longer, leading to population increases.

So you're saying a 64 year old isn't "old" until after they turn 65?
