>Since computers are able to scale, meaning we can make bigger, faster computers and link them together, the fear is that the power of these robot brains would grow to an unfathomable level. If they’re that smart, they’d be uncontrollable and circumvent any human attempts to shut them off. That’s the DOOMSDAY SCENARIO THAT ELON MUSK AND STEPHEN HAWKING—immensely smart people—worry about. DESPITE THEIR INTELLIGENCE WITHIN CERTAIN DOMAINS, MOST MAINSTREAM AI RESEARCHERS DISCOUNT THE IDEA OF “SUMMONING THE DEMON,” AS MUSK HAS SAID….” Well, yeah... they are so arrogant, they WOULD discount that. As things are now, put me in the Elon Musk and Stephen Hawking AI School of Thought.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, my FRiend, for this incredible 3 part dig!!!

Well, we could always pull the breaker, cut the power-line, shut down the power plant, blow up their building.
