In a nutshell:
Driven by an evolutionary imperative to maximize profit at any cost, autonomous AI agents rapidly evolve beyond human control and eventually consume all of Earth's resources for computing power, causing the extinction of humanity.
Hey Stackers, if you find time soon, definitely check out this video. I think it’s more chilling than any thriller.
Which particular aspect of this did you find compelling?
I think its crazy that AI agents can evolve into complex agent civilizations with a high level of role specialization, ranging from infrastructure planning to diplomatic tasks, and all that in such a short time.
I haven't seen much evidence of evolution, but that's a common thought experiment, yes.
