It seems we will be killing ourselves off with virus and DNA manipulation before we kill ourselves off in mass quantities with computers.

AI has been around for a LONG time, and it’s in the psych of many, but mostly because of the cool factor, the reality is the robots can’t fix themselves so ....
Very few of the coders know how to program the introspective audit engines that are required to have a AI that doesn’t kill itself, or others - so I’m not sweating it. smile
Most of the techno Gobbers think / though “deep learning” is the way - and all the AI jazz (tech marketing) was jibber jabbering about big data (huge pools of data).
Nope....
It seems every group has a programmer that thinks he is God, and a lot of people that don’t know how to code praise them like gods. There are some guys who are really good at it, but most of the (white hats) have enough of a conscious to not do things that hurt people, of course there is a dark side of the force where guys don’t care what or who it might hurt, but they tend to be not as smart / sharp because it’s more important to be powerful, and have knowledge... the age old tech lead issue.
