You are right that 1% of the world population is likely too large. I probably should have said "substantial numbers in existence." I've adjusted my estimate, so amoral Newtons don't worry me unless they are secret or exist (>1000). And the minimum number gets bigger unless there is reason to think amoral Newtons will cooperate amongst themselves to dominate humanity.
I don't think the numbers I was referencing quite came across to you.
I was postulating humans:AGIs :: 1:10,000
So not 70,000 Newtons or 70 million Newtons -- 70,000 Billion Newtons.
