Nobel laureate Geoffrey Hinton states one requirement for sharing the planet with a superintelligence: it must care more about humans than about itself — and right now, he says, people aren't working on that.
Reposter AlexTensor takes the opposing view, calling AI the result of intellectual theft, trained on a pirated library of human intellectual labor (text, images, code) — not a being, just statistical software simulating intelligence.
