Worth calling out use by government. AI law enforcement is terrifying yet probably a long way off. But I don't think AI weapon systems are very far off.

I'm also concerned about population-level manipulation/thought control. Forget the targeted political ads we've seen over the past ~decade, this will be able to dynamically adapt to each target like a really good salesperson. On the macro level humans are clearly vulnerable to these tactics.

Regarding mind control, yeah, that. Cambridge Analytica + tailored deepfakes scares the hell out of me. Imagine finding the most unstable individuals and deepfaking a video of all of their friends commanding them to buy coke. Or vote. Or kill.
