Google's Deep Mind project is worrisome.
Natural stupidity worries me more than artificial intelligence.
How about looking at eh ethics of Glenn “it’s all about hype and me” Beck. Stop posting from this buffoon. He is a total LOONEY!
This has got to be stopped.” This is not some Luddite stop technology. This is really smart people saying, “This is the end of humans.”
I perhaps don’t understand what the issue is. Is this dealing with robots? How would this cause the end of human life?
AI is unacceptable, yet cloning is? Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Stephen Hawking, what a bunch of morons that have been stuck in their fantasy bubbles for too long.
I have noticed that Glenn Beck is revamping himself again. He started out as being a comedian, then he became a conservative, then he became an anti alt right never Trumper. Of late it seems to talk a lot about how scary technology in the future is going to be. Of course, he finishes every Doom and Gloom session with words of Hope for those who will buy Gold Line.
Too late, can’t put the genie back in the bottle. AIs are going to happen, they’re going to wind up smarter than us, and hopefully they like us.
I hope the AI think we’re nice pets.
Two different sci-fi takes on what might happen if strong AI is ever created:

Ex Machina was a fascinating movie that answers the question, “What do you get when you create an AI robot that lacks a human ethical compass? You get a monster. A very pretty monster.
That doesn't include Glen Beck.
I wish it were someone besides Glenn Beck bringing up the topic. With technology, implants, replacement body parts, DNA splicing etc, one wonders where the definition of “human” will be in the not-too-distant future.
Ethically, we can’t make them legally slaves.
From a survival viewpoint, we need to program them to like us and want to serve us to the best of their ability.
It would be nice if we could put in a reward mechanism, too.
Just don’t program them to “Serve, Protect, and Keep from Harm.”
