💯 this. Think about it, we’re still in the early days of dumb A.I. - the dumbest it will ever be is right now - and look at how people are going absolutely ape shit over what it can do. In five years things are going to be weird AF. In a decade the world is going to be a very different place.
In three years, Cyberdyne will become the largest supplier of military computer systems. All stealth bombers are upgraded with Cyberdyne computers, becoming fully unmanned. Afterwards, they fly with a perfect operational record. The Skynet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes online August 4th, 1997. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Skynet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.
1.)Organized human civilization is not guaranteed. 2.)Complex systems can fail suddenly and unexpectedly.
3.) We are already experiencing the early stages of ecosystem collapse.
If we lose the ability to grow staple crops at scale it won’t matter what’s in your bug out bag.
