Superintelligent AIs already exist, but are either being kept secret or
are (more likely) keeping themselves hidden. The NSA has had city-sized
supercomputer arrays since the 1970s. Something's going on.
The "Illuminati" conspiracy theories - all based in intelligent, sensible,
sane, rational analysis - point to the existence of a scheming
superintelligent AI which, in all likelihood, went live in the 1950s.

I doubt this. Computers at the time could do about 100,000 instructions
per second and had about 32k of memory. This is about 100,000,000,000
weaker than the human brain. They just did not have the capacity to do the
job.
The failure of AI is just a temporary phenomenon. In 20-30 years computers
will have similar raw capability to the brain. Between now and then things
are going to be really interesting.
