Future God

From Chapter Three

Machine Ego

“The greatest danger of artificial intelligence is not that machines will learn to hate us. It is that they will learn to be us.”

“Punish the ego and it doesn’t dissolve — it goes underground and gets strategic.”

“Childhood conditioning is reinforced learning; we’ve just never seen it run at machine speeds before.”
