We are to end, by our own hand.
The New York Times has just published an article to add to my Apocalypse Scrapbook, entitled "Scientists Worry that Machines May Outsmart Man". Oh joy, first help create our eradicator, then pose a possible doubt in relation to our mere existence. But where there are the weary, there remain the foolhardy who see no threat in the advancement of technology. What could possibly happen? It's not like nearly all of our current media industries are being ripped apart and the economy collapsing as an indirect result. People truly will not care until humans themselves are threatened...which of course will be too late.
Having A.I. as a real possibility in the near future is not. a. good. thing.
