This is the definition of strawman. "Advocate for killing all humans" sounds like someone advocating for a genocide, but instead it's just the same transhumanist thinking (which Yudkowsky also believes in, FYI)

Yudkowsky is transhumanist in that he is hopeful people could voluntarily extend their biological self, but isn't advocating for the elimination of all biological selves in pursuit of other artificial intelligences. Voluntary /= involuntary eradication
