And this is Sam Harris, a eminent neuroscientist, Ted Talk veteran, and podcast hit in the Bay Area, who is tight with Elon Musk, and who I think is prescient in saying, in no uncertain terms, that when we do develop AGI and we will, absolutely (likely in 30 years or so, although he doesn't make any promises), it will be the end of our existence. He thinks that the AGI (whatever shape it takes) will be so vastly superior to humans that it will be like humans to an ant, and we have zero problems killing ants whenever we want to, with no more compunction than taking out the trash. And I think he's absolutely right, within our lifetime, and it's pretty bleeping scary.
