So, should we expect the AI equivalent of Hiroshima in a couple months? An awe inspiring demonstration of raw power to silence any detractors? What would that look like?

These guys in this meeting all know that the technology is here to make machines with superhuman cognitive abilities and they are discussing what to do about it.
