Get everyone smarter, so more people are working high paying jobs, place importance on knowledge and information technology, have high taxes that will be used to increase knowledge sharing, have that circulate, and build a better society for all.

Republicans don't care about police officers murdering unarmed minorities, what makes you think they give a fuck if a child gets cancer and it bankrupts their parents?

Nah, the robots will repair themselves.

When they start upgrading without our approval, then we are fucked.

Everyone automatically assumes that they'll be evil, but maybe they'll just be like the house elves in harry potter, absurdly subservient to humans' every whim

I dont think good or evil will factor into it. Those are human concepts. That said, youre right that what we think will happen is an assumption. I assume any intelligence superior to ours will not be subservient. It seems rare to find a species that does not seek to exploit its advantages over others. At best, some relationships develop symbiotically. But maybe this new intelligence will surprise us all and become a kinder, gentler overlord.
