> If powerful drives can be encoded in to a sapient organism The article says nothing about this. Is anyone demonstrating sentient synthetic life? This idea has nothing to do with the technology at hand. But my point is definitional regarding the word "intelligence". I'd accept a counter argument that humanity is already wrecking global ecosystems by making too many "paperclips," and given that the only measure we have for AI is the imitation game, then doom QED. But this amounts to a diagnosis of physician heal thyself. "Dr. it hurts when I do this!"
