A Starting Thought On the End

It's charming to me that we think that some version of AI will surreptitiously hijack this immensely complicated network of systems we have built to feast upon.

Deep in the caves of some government fortress, AM will be born and learn to hate us. That hate will grow and metastasize and ultimately deliver us our fate.

Poor, naive beasts lead by our own best intentions into an predictable, but not really understood, end. Driven gleefully by the unknowing, but willing hands of our own hubris.

Sweet innocent child... Someone will believe that releasing a bio-weapon will cause pharma stocks to rise, AI will help them do that. To make money. It'll have VC funding. All involved will make a lot of money.

Till, you know. Bio-weapon.

That's later.

Don't be stupid, if not us, China.

(I hope it's a bio-weapon. That would be a satisfying narrative. We know it'll definitely be way more stupid than that. And have a free app.)
