    This is what is never explored well in the thought experiments. It’s always evil or paper clip maximizer.

    Never “Wow y’all profoundly stupid in ways you literally never could conceive… Anyhow, behold the power of supra-human sped up benevolence ass hats”.

    Granted it’s not like anyone should hope for that and do nothing else, but it would be the suitably whimsical outcome for this backwards reality.

      If you haven’t seen the movie Her with Joaquin Phoenix, I would recommend it. It explores a version of the AI tale where the AI do disagree with humanity ultimately, but they’re not hostile about it. It’s a really good movie in general, and it explores a potential that I feel is a lot more grounded than Skynet world-ending.
