So because you wrote a book about ai blowing up the world(so original), we are all supposed to be scared of it now?

When do we get AI voice overs of Anduin, Thrall and Khadgar debating video games?
That sounds awful. Like a male version of the tiktok voice.
Not to be that guy, but the first 11 seconds didnât sell me on this. It sounds like a teacher reading off a cue card for a paycheck, instead of a blood elf.
The later ones does have some emotion, but it still sounds like their just bored and just reading it. Like, not much urgency in that infliction or direction.
I get what their trying to do, and itâs impressive in a way, but itâs still AI at the end of the day. And AI really canât replace human talent. Still canât even draw hands for goodness sakes.
Famous last words for 3D TVâs.
Plot twist we create a AI god and well he doesnât like usâŠ
We donât even like ourselves

Nope. Robot people will never happen. More like AI taking control of a weapon of mass destruction and destroying most of the people kinda stuff
Yeah, itâs kind of insane how fast humanityâs tech has evolved in the past 100 years. For tens of thousands of years it was evolving at a snailâs pace.
You donât think AI would see the merit in self-replicating robots?
I forget where I read or saw (maybe itâs an Ancient Aliens or Through the Wormhole episode) theories that self-replicating robots would be the only feasible way to explore the universe. And they discussed how itâs more likely weâd encounter another civilizationâs robots before the actual beings. And they took it even further, discussing the possibility of organic life on Earth actually being self-replicating robots (they used DNA, which is basically a computer program, as the basis of the theory).
It sounds so lifeless and robotic. Hate it. I donât know why so many people nowadays want to replace real humans with poor imitations. Iâd much prefer staying without voice acting than have these uncanny fake voices.
Ah, Wargames then!

This fits into the Fermi paradox. During lunch one day while working on the Manhattan Project Enrico Fermi, the physicist who got the first nuclear reactor running, and others were talking about alilen life. Fermi asked the others, if there is intelligent life out there, where are they?
Turns out there are billions of white dwarfs in our galaxy which means there are billions of stars that are billions of years older than our sun. If intelligent life were common, they should have been here long ago.
One possibility is that the speed of light really is the top speed limit which would make it nearly impossible for living beings to explore the galaxy but an advanced intelligence could build robots that could travel 10s of thousands of years to explore as long as they could rebuild themselves and keep themselves running.
So again, if they are out there, where are they? Why havenât they stopped by at some point in the last billion or so years?

Unfortunately, I think the chance of this actually happening is incredibly high. 
If the human race doesnât blow itself up first, anyway.

Earth is probably one of those neighborhoods the high class folks donât want to roll thru.

I know I would turn on my cloaking device and keep moving if I were one of them.

They probably know that Earth is just a big computer thatâs going to be destroyed to make way for a galactic highway.
Better grab your towel.

Iâve read and heard lots of theories. They range from theyâve been here all along (Ancient Alien theory) to weâre not advanced enough for them to care so they move on (Jungle Theory) to civilizations collapse before they can successfully travel the universe (I believe this falls under Fermi paradox).
Considering the size of the universe, I find it hard to believe there isnât life elsewhere. Was it Carl Sagan that said if Earth was the only place with life in the universe itâd be a waste of space? Seems unrealistic that whatâs true on Earth wouldnât be true elsewhere. Could just be thereâs no way to travel or communicate such vast distances; in the grand scheme, our planet is basically a spec of dust.
One of the cool things theyâre doing in the search for advanced civilizations is trying to spot a Dyson Sphere. Itâs believed an advanced civilization thatâs beyond us could be harnessing blackholes as a power source, but I donât think it likely theyâd find one. If a species could build something around a blackhole, theyâd likely also be able to hide it.

what you mean? i thought they were fine.
Hard to have a history of something youâve never doneâŠ
Wait til you see what they can do with actors in movies.
