Will the existential threat push the envelope so that we have full transparency? Will it be Utopia or just a ruined envelope?
I have spent about the last 6 months working with AI models of all types and sizes and purposes. Your guess is as good as mine. They have evolved some just in the period that I have been fooling around with them. Fortunately, this is a hobby for me, so it has provided a lot of learning opportunities without a lot of stress.
But no matter how you feel about AI... it is the area relating to computers where all the action is. The money being committed and spent is astronomical. The Return on Investment (ROI) is getting into a questionable range that is constantly thought to be turning into a very dangerous bubble.
Any development good or bad can have a huge impact on the markets.
