The only good thing I can say about the military is that once they get
an idea
they pursue it if the ends justify the means.
Lets hope scientific discovery is programmed high on the list of
priorities of a prospective AI. World domination should be a lesser
priority.
Serendipity is sometimes scary.
What if the Asteriod of 65 million years ago never happened, would there
be humans?
What will Organics evolve into after AI ? Hopefully hundreds of new
species all able to "link" consciousness from time to time. Hopefully
the AI's we create
will enjoy the company and diversity of organics and not see us as
vermin
to be eradicated to purify the ecosystem.
