Tbis could easily be true about today’s testimony in congress about AI. We are warned that it could be catastrophic – take action now to control and regulate it. I think it could just as easily be a test to see whether humans or AI will wind up as the intelligent agents in the future.

They said they were sorry, but would not accept any blame. Typical disrupter behavior, break it, and then deny it.

Yeah, move fast and break things. Then whistle and walk away… with the cash (or digital representation). It was brilliant what the new Pennsylvania fella said (about work).
