So google and microsoft are fucking around with it, it's becoming an arms race with China even.... but I really wish they'd all just stop this madness and concentrate on the people problem.... I figure we've got people so hell bent on getting a working perfect AI that they never stopped and asked themselves if they should... I know this resonates Chaos Theory sentiment from Jurassic Park, however it really really rings true with me... Why the hell do I want an AI in my life when we can't even have google publish proper results anymore (internet's getting controlled, that sort of stuff)... this world is being steered by some very naive, powerful and motivated people and I wish they'd all just get Frankensteine'd as they push something that when perfectly conceived is no longer under man's control.
Have you heard that Google's AI gets "stressed" when it's losing to another AI and starts calculating and implementing tactics at higher rates to win.... it's fucked right up and I'd like to see people be more responsible with things we can't control.... Fuck North Korea I'm way more worried about a real AI that learns to hate us as we already hate ourselves. Would a Robot really draw national lines? it's a fucking robot, it'll create it's own line between us and itself first as any logically profound new being would. Plus it can do things we can't. Calculation wise. This is getting increasingly worrying for me.
Think about it this way. Humans will always have corrupted leadership in any civilization of note. Hopefully after the AI overlords purge the bulk of humanity they will take on a shepard roll and protect us from us. Or more likely we are creating the thing that replaces us in the universe.
