So, interesting times where only 54 weeks ago, OpenAI devs shocked
the world with the release of ChatGPT 3.x, and now devs in the field
are being shocked by open sourced (Apache licensed) AIs.
the time between the world being shocked is becoming shorter
as the singularity approaches :)
I am waiting for the arrival of Singularia

I am more worried that some idiot human will ask an AI for the DNA to a
virus that will kill all Christians or Jews or Muslims, and get a virus
that kills all humans.
The one that goes through my mind is: A space alien comes to earth and
lands. And we run up to the S.A. and say "Thank God you're here! You've
got to help us. We got this message from space? And we decoded it? And
it was the plans for a giant computer? And we built it? and turned it
on? And it took over the world and made us all its slaves? And it's
cruel and our lives are horrible and you've got to do something!!"
So the space alien says "Well, let's see the message." And it reads the
message and says "This is a recipe for butterscotch chip muffins. What
have you been doing?"
See "A for Andromeda" circa1962, written by Fred Hoyle and John Elliot.
Followed up by "Andromeda Breakthrough" by the same authors.
But the aliens weren't so nice in the Andromeda books. The aliens
provide schematics and code for wonderfully advanced computers.. that
replicate themselves and start a terraforming project on Earth!
