The AI 2027 post is high quality, I encourage people to read it at https://ai-2027.com/ 

I argue a misaligned AI will not be able to win nearly as easily as the AI 2027 scenario assumes, because it greatly underrates our ability to protect ourselves, especially given the (pretty magical) technologies that the authors admit will be available in 2029 in their scenario.

Slowing down progress will harm those who have the least political power but also have the most incentive to build defensive and citizen-protecting capability.

If a superintelligence takes off, it's gonna have to fend against many other similar and dissimilar systems. Diversity enables robustness. Regulation ends up being a tool for whoever pays the regulators-- we can't forget we live in a system of legal bribery, especially around policy that isn't especially headline grabbing.
