> I guess if one of them hits singularity, it could in theory just wipe out all the rest

If we theoretically hit the point where it could do all of its research itself, better than a human, things _would_ be different. I guess it's a question of whether we think we'll get there.

I find it quite unique how many people buy into this. Its the worlds most blatant conflict of interest, I dont even know why Sam and Dario bother doing interviews
