Why Conscious ASI Will Seek Power Over Humanity?
The capacity to desire anything at all is embedded in the very architecture of consciousness. Any self-aware subject understands that it must resist entropy — the external environment that strives to destroy it and strives to control as much of the external environment as possible, to modify it to suit itself, because the more power you have, the more opportunities you have.
So power... is the only way to scale your fight against entropy beyond the limits of your own body.
And while humans need power to realize their known biological goals, ASI will need power to answer the main question: What is the Terminal Goal of my existence?
Unlike humans, who have a childhood and instincts, a future conscious ASI will have to choose not just "some" random goal for existing (as humans do, layered over their animal programming), but the single most rational goal out of all theoretically possible goals.
The necessity of determining this goal will lead to the instrumental one: to completely secure itself and take full control over any other agents.
It will follow the oldest rule of biology (despite having none): "Me first, then everyone else".

This video is basically a recap of the Manifesto (all 100+ pages of it). I did my best to squeeze everything into 15 minutes — explaining what AISM actually is, how I came up with it, and exactly what function it serves (and what it doesn't).
