| Soundwave said: No one really got COVID right, so perhaps humanity as a species isn't as smart as they think they are. If they did it should have been stopped before it spread everywhere. We are arrogant, careless, and mistake prone, even the best of us. That's not anecdotal either. |
Already established that people as a whole are stupid. It's the individual that can stand out and be smart.
| Soundwave said: There is no past precedent because where exactly would you get a past precedent? We've had computers for what? Really 70 years only? That's nothing. There's nothing to prepare us for what is coming, Siri on an iPhone doesn't prepare you for shit, nothing in our past is going to tell you anything about this kind of a future. |
70 years is a long time. That's multiple pandemics/epidemics in that time.
However... It's okay to say "we don't know" what will happen in the future, it's far far better than conjuring up a conspiracy theory based on a movie that is not based on real life.
| Soundwave said: An intelligence that's allowed to keep growing and advancing in years or even decades what took monkeys/apes/humans hundreds of thousands of years of evolution to achieve, there's no way to predict what it might do, how much it could learn, or what it could be capable of. |
Where is your evidence that an intelligence would be able to escape it's walled garden?
A.I. Is capable of lots of stuff... And has helped humanity for several decades.
But there is a financial incentive for companies to contain and control A.I. to make money.

Advanced modelling of pandemics/epidemics has occurred over several centuries.
The issue we have is that countries tend to run with populist leaders, who are more than happy to ignore plans/science in order to make their voter base happy so they can get re-elected for another term.
