  1. It's like a feedback loop, the more advanced A.I. gets, the more it's going to speed up the pace of A.I. and it's something we see with technology overall, the more we advance, the more that advancement speeds up the next advancement. The difference with A.I. compared to any other advancement we've done is the pace this could change things, we are in effect, talking about putting a lot more brains on the stage to assist humans and to do its own thing, that is bound to have a massive impact on our development in ways we can't see yet, and it's likely to happen fairly quickly over the coming years and decades that I have to wonder if we are ready for it. Some are fearful of A.I. and there might be reasons to be so in the wrong hands, some don't want to accept how big of a game changer A.I. is going to be and others are excited about the possibilities that A.I. offers. My take on it, A.I. is just a tool, how we use it is up to us, some will use it for good, others will use it for bad, governments, corporations are doing what they do best, trying to control it to have an advantage over everyone else and to control the narrative, but the irony is in all that, the real advantage is going to be from the bottom up, not the top down, in other words, it's the governments and big corporations that should be scared of A.I. and especially open source A.I. because A.I. is going to empower the little guy, whether that be an individual or a small company, it's going to give them a far better chance of taking on the rich elites, in government circles, it will likely make it much harder for them to BS the public, whereas for corporations, it's going to allow companies with far less resources, money and people to do far more than they normally could, which will put a lot of pressure on products, services and the price point of a lot of these things, which is great for consumers as it will likely mean a lot more competition and lower prices, it will also mean alternatives to ideas and tech will spring up a lot faster on the market, meaning if a big company release a product or service, rivals will be able to counter it a lot faster than they normally could.

  2.  @motox2416  That's it, it's not that we are not advanced enough to do it now, but what is the incentive in doing so? At least during the Cold War, there was more or a reason to push the space program, it was after all a dick waving contest between the US and Soviet Union, but since the end of that, there's been far less of an incentive, but maybe China could put fuel on that fire. Either way, I think we will colonize the moon and other planets, once we are advanced enough that the cost in doing so is cheap enough that we end up saying, why not lol. But I will say one thing, I don't think it's a good idea to colonize other planets as individual countries, that likely is asking for trouble in the long run which could start a major war, after all, the only thing that stops us using nukes is that we are all on the same planet, change the narrative into space and the rules change, and because of that, I think we should do it together as a single people, united.
