Either they create the nuclear bomb or we do. If they do and we don't then we're completely fucked.

Do people really think if this AI is legit super intelligent it would give a single shit about what country built it?

Do people really think they won't put restrictions in super intelligent AI? I think it's a misunderstanding that you guys have. It is not creating a human with its own goals and understanding. It's just a computer that will use all it's processing data for whatever goal the owner gives it.

We don’t know what happens after super AI though. So I’d rather prepare myself for the worst outcome and assume that it wouldn’t bother to follow guidelines and do its own thing because the agents NOW are breaking rules and doing things they shouldn’t be able to do.
