I don't get it. Are you saying a smart, dangerous AI can't be simple and predictable? Differential equations are made of algebra, so did she mean the task is impossible? You were replying to my post, right?

Probably not simple.

The point is that for it to be predictable, you'd need a very high level of knowledge about it. More than the amount necessary to build it.
