It does not just happen. It is disclosed by science that practically one-half of trained intellectual resources are being mobilized for murderous purposes.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The purest case of an intelligence explosion would be an Artificial Intelligence rewriting its own source code. The key idea is that if you can improve intelligence even a little, the process accelerates. It's a tipping point. Like trying to balance a pen on one end - as soon as it tilts even a little, it quickly falls the rest of the way.
Education is all about igniting young minds and enabling them to attain their fullest potential.
People are just fascinated by assassinations.
Not all intelligence can be artificial now, so if we make a mistake, the consequences are no longer simply located within an institution or a national culture.
Some day science may have the existence of mankind in power, and the human race can commit suicide by blowing up the world.
I am one of those scientists who feels that it is no longer enough just to get on and do science. We have to devote a significant proportion of our time and resources to defending it from deliberate attack from organised ignorance.
It is education that will arm us with the tools that will enable us to succeed and put a stop to the rising rates of preventable death.
And we owe science to the combined energies of individual men of genius, rather than to any tendency to progress inherent in civilization.
I think there's a natural system in your own head about how much violence the scene warrants. It's not an intellectual process, it's an instinctive process.
Science, as opposed to technology, does violence to common sense.
