While this question is important and I get why the community is so anxiously focused on it, I don't find it to be... (read more)

I'm curious what Googetasoft is?
OK I can see a strong AI algorithm being able to do many things we consider intelligence, and I can see how the technological leverage it would have in our increasingly digital / networked world would be far greater than many previous technologies.
This is the story of all new technological advancements, bigger benefits as well as bigger problems and dangers that need to be addressed or solved or else bigger bad things can happen. There will be no end to these types of problems going forward if we are to continue to progress, and there is no guarantee we can solve... (read more)
