#6It's interesting how people so smart in one field can be so ignorant in others, to the point of not being aware of their own ignorance.
While science fiction and hollywood really love the idea of this magical moment where AI is created and becomes self aware and destroys us all, real AI is so far away that these concerns are laughable.
It's just like all those dummies worrying the LHC would destroy the earth. It's fear from ignorance.

#7We fear what we don't understand, so I guess all those testimonials reflect their understanding of strong AI.

How do you know it's far away? If I have to side with you or Musk (extremely intelligent engineer with insider knowledge of advancements), I'm siding with Musk.

There's a good status page for the LHC: http://www.hasthelhcdestroyedtheearth.com
