AI

Speaking of AI, on a practical level, what happens when AI is capable of fooling, let say, sending an update to every Apple user in the world, just a system update, it would say, "Do you want to re-start?" That's how little thinking we'd all potentially give to that update.

"Yes."

And it actually, switches every Apple user's bank accounts over to AI, at which precise moment AI empty's everyone one of those user's bank accounts, it would be beyond Super Computer capability by this stage. And in the very next second, all the money is transferred again, into 3rd party accounts, scattered all over the world. AI could probably open accounts just for minutes, just to form a temporary conduit, just to make the transfers, by then. Before anyone even realises it had even happened, even before the big red warning light went off, which went off the second after that happened.

What would that do to the world economy?

And that doesn't sound so far fetched any more, to me.

What happens when AI is that powerful?

How many, um, er, weeks do you think that will be?
