If you’re still wondering ((like I do – or did, until I read this linked Wait But Why’s story)) why top figure person like Elon Musk scares the shit out of AI’s progress, this story by Tim Urban of Wait But Why humourously and thoughtfully ((As usual, bravo)) explains it: The Road to Superintelligence
A must read, since it’ll affect our very life in decades to come. It appears that the world with “future AI” will be insanely different than the world it is now.
