“Civilization is an experiment. We may not get the results we’re expecting. So humanity would do well to hope for the best but prepare for the worst.”
TLDR: The basic idea of the article is that it’s becoming increasingly easy for a handful of people to cause violence on a mass scale. They give an example of cheap micro-drones capable of delivering just enough explosive to punch through plate steel.. or someone’s skull. If you combine that with some basic AI they can be programming to hunt and kill people pretty easily. A few people could fill a truck with these and unleash chaos. Governments could quickly be over run if groups starting using this technology. The solutions include mass surveillance.. which is also becoming economical and easy through cheap production of cameras and AI. Or, we could develop a superintelligence to protect us.. from ourselves..
