Part 10/15:
Research and industry are racing toward this future: brain-computer interfaces like Neuralink, AI-generated realistic videos, and self-designing hardware are all steps in this direction. Machines are no longer just passive tools—they're actively upgrading themselves, designing better hardware, and creating complex simulations of the world.
The Uncontrollable Power of AI Self-Improvement
This rapid acceleration raises profound concerns. We are essentially creating entities that might surpass our understanding and control. Once AI can improve itself without human intervention, the gap between human intelligence and superintelligence could collapse within days or weeks, leaving us unprepared. The warning is blunt: by the time we grasp what is happening, it might be too late to intervene.
