- roland_nilsson 3y agoYuval Noah Harari argues that AI has hacked the operating system of human civilisation. Storytelling computers will change the course of human history, says the historian and philosopher.
- jruohonen 3y agoI have a lot of respect for Harari, but this piece seems to clearly go to the highly speculative alarmist camp.

- zamnos 3y agoI think you'll be waiting a while. As long as there are two very loud camps, one saying this thing is useless, and the other saying this completely revolutionizes (with an much quieter "eh it's pretty good but not civilization changing" moderate group), there's gonna be disagreement.

With all AV and web connections What will it do? North American Indians wouldn't take a decision if it would negatively affect 7 generations down the line. Here it seems there is zero control. What about that?
