Interesting Times

 

 "Things are getting so weird that not even the secret masters are sure what's going on. unfortunately, this makes them grumpy, and they tend to argue a lot, slam doors AND DESTROY SMALL NATIONS."

 

We are living in Interesting Times. Perhaps the most Interesting Times in thousands of years. At least ten top executives have walked away from leading AI firms in recent times over "grave concerns about the technology's power, including its  [AI's] potential to wipe away humanity." 

I feel privileged and fortunate to be alive in these times and I cannot shake the sense that we are on the cusp of something world shattering and we have been chosen to witness it.
