Mo Gawdat thinks the next 12-15 years will be dark, not because of robots but because of our own “stupidity.”

The article title is very click baity, but I found the actual discussion and reasoning for why this will happen and how it can be stopped to be thoughtful.

    There’s only 2 proposed problems in the article as far as I can tell. They’re not novel ideas, and the author brings no new evidence:

    1. “AI”’s disruption of the labor market.
    2. “AI” as magnifier of existing problems: fake news, scamming, military applications, domestic surveillance.

    2/10 would not recommend the article
