Why I'm snarky about #AI hype of late 1. Artifice is of humans. So what's is intelligence and how is it qualified or quantified. Called smart a lot, I'm truly impossibly stupid far more often. 2. Seems limited to short term personal gain over long term human growth and unity.

I've thought more and more lately about the Warning that Frank Herbert left us in Dune about Human Primacy and technological displacement outstripping society's ability to adapt and the damage it can do. Samuel Butler was the model for his imagined "Jihad"

Interesting points I don't think that anything we create is going to kill or overpower us because of its own sentience but because we made it in the first place assuming we knew how to control it!

it's not Skynet I'm (or herbert) worried about. it's abuse by Humans that displace and destroy livelihoods and economies. The Social chasms created by new have/nots. Societal change isn't new, what is new is the scale, breadth and scope of potential change.

And there's growing evidence that the larger the amount of people in a given area or region the greater the potential for violence and Us versus them hate. It's not skynet I care about either! Mounting evidence shows the larger groups the larg potential for violence and hate
