a jump seems unlikely

Flycer’s explanation for better understanding:

The future of humanity with AGI / HLMI / transformative AI:

If artificial intelligence is reached more incrementally, even if it ends up being a powerful influence in society, there is little reason to think it will have particularly bad values.

Flycer’s Secondary Explanation:

Artificial intelligence has the potential to be a powerful influence in society, but it is likely to be reached incrementally. Therefore, there is no reason to think it will have bad values. AI can be used to benefit society if it is developed responsibly.
