I posted this link somewhere else, but it's such a good read that I'll post it again. http://singularity.org/research/ http://singularity.org/research/ Even if you disagree with the ideas of what general artificial intelligence could do to the human existence on Earth and elsewhere, it is justified to spend some effort thinking about it. The potential consequences to human existence are all-encompassing. So when something is deemed a potential existential risk, it's worth thinking about. If the current development in computing continues, I believe that superhuman artificial intelligence is inevitable. And that if we don't prepare for it properly, we might screw it up in a historical way.
