Thanks for sharing! My comment on this article: https://nyti.ms/3dQoxqU#permid=120043436
"It is inevitable that AI systems will end up becoming good enough to run the economy, repair and reproduce themselves. Biology shows us that this does not require highly intelligent systems. As things stand now, even insects outperform our best AI systems, but then we may not even need insect-level intelligence to fully automatize our economy.
This development is then driven by economic growth, it's not something that's easy to regulate. Companies will use whatever technology is available to reduce costs and to get to higher profits. The current climate crisis shows just how hard it is to regulate the rather simple process of our use of energy to reduce CO2 emissions.
When in the future the economy is run by autonomous machines that maintain and copy each other while producing all the stuff we consume, there will exists a new machine biology besides the original biology. It's then inevitable that the machine biology will not be fully compatible with the original biology. Toxic compounds are likely to be produced.
The problem we'll then face is that we'll have even less power to mitigate such problems than we have now when dealing with our CO2 emissions. It's then likely that the new machine biology will destroy most of the original biology.
All intelligent life in the universe likely ends in this way. The takeover by machines with insect-level intelligence or less, then explains why the galaxy hasn't already been colonized (the so-called Fermi Paradox)."
