The speed at which AI is progressing has taken many people by surprise but I have always suspected that this may be a natural progression of evolution, give humans to much time and they may slow or stop A I from developing any further but give them less time and the human race is in trouble.
We were never very good at long term planning and the fact that we are quite fragmented into countries with different agendas means that we were never going to have a united response to a world threat especially as money is the driving facture in nearly everything we do.
I have been wrong many times in my life but I wonder if we are the builders and. A I is what we are meant to build, a program that was implanted in our genes long before we became humans.
Humans have always wondered what our purpose in life was meant to be, perhaps we have found it
So will A I wipe us out? I don’t know because I am just a builder, but a good one so maybe they will just give me a good pension and let me spend my last few years sitting in à nice coffee bar.
And as long as they can’t read my mind I will smile to myself at the thought that one day in the distant future AI will be replaced by something that is even farther along the evaluation chain because that’s what evaluation means.
Theres always someone faster than the fastest gunfighter.
