Someone on Twitter said: "Do not fear AI. Fear the people and companies that run AI".

After all, it's the same industry that came up with pervasive and invasive tracking, automated insurance refusals, automated credit lookups and checks, racial ...ahem... neighbourhood profiling for benefits etc. etc.

No need to fear anything. Will be handled similar to Parasites and Pandemics. Scale is over rated, if the host gets drained and dies too quickly. Past couple decades have taught corporate wonderland how to combine mindlessly ambitious people(parasites) and button press scalability, to generate mesmerizing levels of profits. But the scheme is getting old. Everyone has copied the model. The host is taking more hits than it can afford. And therefore there is greater recognition about which parasites to keep locked up and which can be safely controlled.
