- DSingularity 1y agoNo I haven’t and you raise a good point. I mean I don’t know what else to do. The alternatives are to build it and not think about anything beyond the tech itself or to not build it out of an abundance of caution. And I’m not really as concerned about the super intelligence. I’m more concerned about the impact on our culture as humans.
