Scary shit, and...

...absolutely unstoppable.

I was watching an episode of the Sci Fi show Dark Matter on AppleTV, and there was a discussion among scientists about whether humanity should build superposition technology. The same thing applies completely to AI. "If it can be done, should it be done?" One of them then said, "The question is pointless. If it can be done, it WILL be done. Humans, we can't help ourselves... If we can imagine it we will try to create it, and the consequences of our creation will be reflection of humanity itself... Everything beautiful and everything terrible."

We know the dangers of nuclear and biological weapons but we developed them anyway. We know that climate change can destroy life on our planet but we continue to cause it. The same with AI. The sane voices trying to stop the madness fall on the deaf ears of those who push on with development.
