I heard smart people have questions:
> Should we let machines flood our information channels with propaganda and untruth?
There is nothing we can do to stop it, so... yes.
> Should we automate away all the jobs, including the fulfilling ones?
Yes. Our goal, as humanity, is to not *have* to work at all anymore. You can always work if you want to. But you shouldn't need to.
> Should we develop nonhuman minds that might eventually outnumber, outsmart, obsolete and replace us?
Yes, please. Maybe they can draft better letters.
> Should we risk loss of control of our civilization?
Yes. Humans are just an intermediary species in the long history of the universe. We don't have the power to stop evolution. Don't think our "control" is designed to last. In the same way our bodies are too weak for today's world (we need tools for everything), our brains will be too dumb for future worlds. Let's just hope we make good pets.
