Thanks for posting a well written point of view. As a Prepper, I'm always interested in end-of-the world articles. Currently, I don't worry too much about AI, but you're right. Somewhere over the horizon it could become selfaware. But space aliens could pose just as much risk. Don't laugh too hard at me, but I've seen UFOs. And there are either space aliens or the military has developed some terrifying aircraft... Actually, I think I'm more concerned about Washington's military "intelligence" than I am of some spooky "artificial intelligence"..
Take care.....
