AI takeover is not the thing to worry about: physical constraints bound recursive self-improvement, and humans reliably act once a risk becomes immediate.

Coding agents already do coarse-grained recursive self-improvement, because every use rewrites their instruction files and their long-term memory.

Coding is not just another application domain for AI; it is the meta-skill that lets AI generate its own training material and start the recursive self-improvement loop.
