It will take a long time for the chance of this to become possible, but I am saying this guy may be correct, and I am not one prone to exaggeration.

We aren't going to stop it, the snowball has already started rolling down the hill and accumulated a lot of mass.

As someone who's spent a lot of time reading about and playing with AI. I know a little more than the average guy. First there's no way anyone is going to even try to stop AI before it's too late. It's already too late for many in white collar jobs, their jobs are going to be slashed like factory workers with robotics. AI within 5 years will be so pervasive even if we wanted to we wouldn't be able to get the toothpaste back in the tube.

Combining AI, quantum computing, and robotics is going to be the tipping point.

ETA this popped up on my feed right after I replied. Eeriely perfect timing.
