I finally caught what all this reminds me of - the Expanse and that hivemind.

I wonder whether popularization of what they call “AI” is a result of some consistent strategy by big entities - having such paranoid thoughts lately. If people in charge there are generally ignorant in information theory (and also haven’t read Lem), they may really think that something like Eros will somehow emerge on its own.

Which it won’t, of course, but the heavy usage of this abbreviation (“AI”), if I went on with my paranoia, may too be a result of some common belief that it will.

If we think about Theranos’ investors, elites are really full of people who believe that some Star Wars level sh*t will just emerge on its own and they are the smart kind who’ll control it.
