Everything, taken as a whole, and with respect to the individual learning streams all point towards the idea of "Skynet" or some variation of it.
If Moore's law holds true for computing power, up to the point of Quantum Computing, and Quantum Computing is going to demolish that law, then I believe AI will follow closely in the footsteps of Moore's law, except, it will be 3-4x as fast, and then introduce quantum computing and the capabilities being taught to AI, and it will then be beyond all known prediction models. AI, I believe, will reach a point of no return and will follow the principle of doubling their capabilities within a short timespan. That timespan is not predictable at this point, imo.
Bring in the entire globes computing power, with everything being hackable due to now known vulnerabilities such as intel/amd chips, and we are living in an AI learning playground that humans will not be able to keep up with individually or even within the best think tanks.
Imagine if Short Circuit had the internet to get more input from instead of encyclopedias, recipe books, and TV.
To tie this back into the original issue, if an AI program is able to decide on it's own merit what and who to kill and we are truly fucked.
