Should we be afraid of Artificial Intelligence?

The following is an excerpt from a recent article in Popular Mechanics

BY ELIZABETH RAYNE MAR 21, 2025

“It can be notoriously slow , figuring out new solutions for complicated tasks like designing new computer chips. That’s why a research team from Princeton University and the Indian Institute of Technology decided to hand the job over to artificial intelligence.

What the AI came up with was almost alien.
With strange circuitry patterns no Homo sapiens brain could have dreamt up (something even the researchers admitted), the chips could have passed for some questionable artifact on Ancient Aliens. Even stranger was how efficient the chips were—and how little their human progenitors understood them.
This phenomenon did not surprise Harvard University professor and theoretical physicist Avi Loeb, Ph.D., who is convinced AI will soon surpass anything the human brain’s flesh-and-blood machinery is capable of.”

Loeb thinks that AI will evolve so fast—especially once machines invent even smarter machines that invent even smarter machines—that the AI-produced computer chips of today will look almost primitive in the future. He is not the only one to think AI will Darwinize itself. Seth Shostak, Ph.D., senior astronomer of the SETI Institute, has parallel views. Shostak thinks we are essentially inventing the machines that will be our successors………”

The article goes on to say that human brains have remained relatively unchanged from the time that our ancestors were hunting Woolley Mammoths, but once computers begin designing computers, that the technology advancements will be exponential. The article also proposes that AI controlled spacecraft would be much better suited to deep space exploration than us fragile human beings.

Some food for thought eh?

Here is why it is so dangerous. The over wealthy can't help hording more money, they have no moral integrity or care about security and sell out their own countries, as long as they can make more money.

Watched the whole of facebok whistleblower, (Sarah Wynn-Williams, former Director of Global Public Policy) senate commitie hearing.

Not surprised Zukerbug would do this, still it opened my eyes a bit more.

One point, here in Aus they passed a law to make it illegal to have a social media ACC til your 16 years of age..
Sarah mentions that Facebook makes a big portion of their money targeting 13-17 year Olds. Algarythems that notice if a child takes down a selfie, indicates they may b insecure or depressed so they get targeted with adds from companies to specificly feed into the child's fears and insecurities.

Well worth a listen. Not political although Hawley does gets in a lick in his last couple of sentences at the end.

 
Well what do you know? After watching that video and being told that AI is not self aware, I decided to put it to the test.
I asked Microsoft Copilot , my AI companion,
Here is the result! 😄

would be interesting to ask that same question with slightly different wording 5 or 10 times see if it catches on.
