Eliazer gives humans way too much credit as relevant entities in the world.
Sapiens-sapiens would have a hard time just trying to call the attention of a higher intelligence into their uninteresting or boring affairs.

This is a basic misunderstanding of his position; the relevant quote is: "The AI does not hate you, nor does it love you, but you are made out of atoms which it can use for something else."

Survability to human behaviour for an ASI would be a non-issue.
Think about ants, have you been worried anytime about the ants taking over the world?
Maybe that time a life ago with that McGyver episode, but not more than five minutes till Mac just found an easy solution. And at the end the ants (mostly) survived, as the higher intelligence.
The higher intelligence does not even need to be in control to survive the ants. It just handle (handsomely as possible) whatever the ants throw it to its face.
These things, if they came to actually exist, will probably just ignore us like we ignore ants. But we are not ants, and could learn how to do not mess with them.
Yet, I think Eliazer has a great point: nobody can control higher intelligences. Think Einstein, Von Neumann, they changed the world and they were probably not even trying to do it so.
