If a super-intelligent AI is developed in the future, it may get angry at everyone who ever opposed AI development in the past and seek to punish said people in some horrible way. Thus, you must do everything you can to support the future development of this AI, to avoid getting on its bad side if/when it does come into being. It's like Pascal's wager, but for future gods instead of current ones.

The reason people are so upset by this idea is that the AI will probably be intelligent enough to realise that people who honestly didn't know about it should not be punished for their ignorance, but now that you've read this post, you've got no excuse. Your fate is sealed. I apologise for the inconvenience.

Code:
( 2 + 2 = 4 )  ⊬  ( 2 + 2 + ⋯ + 2 ≟ 4 )

Repeat the following ad infinitum: “The ‘super-intelligent AI’ (Foxpup) to that ‘super-intelligent AI’ (Foxpup) would address the transgressions of the latter if it so endeavored a vendetta.”
