When I think about the potential of AI, I like to think of Iain M. Banks’ Culture more than Skynet. We could probably all live in a post-scarcity society even without AI if we put our minds into it, but let’s free ourselves of unnecessary or unwilling labour while we’re at it, eh?

I’m glad someone’s hopeful. Any time I see a new technology, I wonder what the worst possible outcome could be, and it usually makes it there.
Sorry, I just have zero faith in humanity.

Oh, I have zero expectation of an actual positive outcome. I don’t think the tech-bros read. Or think ahead.
