When turtles evolve they become ninja turtles, and if they go bad, well... do I really need to paint you a picture?
Seriously though, the level of evil that can be perpetrated as technology evolves is scary and I ask myself sometimes whether humanity's wisdom will manage to catch up to it's intelligence before it destroys itself in very creative ways... Though I must admit that criminal AI feels much less threatening to me than criminal biotechnology.
- TeMPOraL 10y agoCriminal AI wielding biotechnology? Hack into some database to steal bioweapon designs (or invent one by itself), get a few chemical companies to assemple components, bribe some poor schmuck into mixing the vials together, boom. THB though, what I fear is individuals. Humans as a group behave often in batshit insane ways, but most of the time, they're a peaceful and kind species. But you always have, by the random lottery of genes and environment, crazy people. What technology does is magnifying the power a single person can wield, and thus the damage they can do. Self-replicating stuff is particularly nasty power amplifier here.
