It is in fact the clowns that worry me more than the technology. AI or what we are calling AI is neutral. It's just a technology of convenience, like hammers and power drills. What you're going to end up with is people like in the tweet, who may have good intentions or may be trying to sell their solutions, trying their hardest to sanitize AI and make it a perfect god. At some point they will say "Finally, we worked out the bugs. AI is on our side now. NOW we can put it in charge of the nukes." The people doing the most fear-mongering about AI will fulfill their own prophecy if we don't get a Butlerian Jihad before it's too late.
