Moonshots are concerning until you consider the alternative.

AI is the one and only possibility for saving millions (likely billions) of lives from “old age”, cancers, Alzheimer’s, ALS… you name it.

It’s a big bet. The alternative is we all die anyway: sadly after a gradual decline at best or horribly after long undignified suffering at worst.

I’ll take the economic risk.

If those billions were poured in research it could bring results too.
