It sort of feels too complex and very wide for me. I'm taking a look forward for your subsequent submit, I will try to get the hang of it!

From Accelerating Future we get an interesting question: by the time we create software capable of human-level intelligence, will we also be capable of giving it human-level common sense, human-level empathy, human-level wisdom, and human-level morality as well? Intelligence without these latter components could be extremely dangerous, dangerous as in fatal to the human race. [...] [...] This is amusing.

My feeling is that you are right about political processes becoming irrelevant. Not only because they don't take into account the relevant (technical) issues, but also because they work on fixed time scales that look longer and longer in comparison to rate of change. However, the executive branch may still retain timeliness for awhile. I don't know what the likelihood of the executive making good decisions is when tech heavy risks are involved. Based on reactions to terrorist threats in past years, I see more "surface" and public-relations oriented responses, rather than substantive ones.
