9. A thought occurred to me about a strange similarity in the Science Fiction world to this AI stuff.

Along with the un-nerving thought of what AI can uncontrollably do and how it's a threat to our own existence and the massive amount of energy needs I remembered a SF predictor of sorts. One of my favorite movies- Forbidden Planet. Filmed in 1956. It was supposed to be a take-off of Shakespeare's "The Tempest".

For those who are not familiar with this movie, it tells a story of an extinct, very very advanced civilization (called the Krell) that created something that led to it's own destruction. I will not give details about how that happened because that is an important part of the story but in their technical development that consumed massive, massive means of energy creation.

All of this was discovered by our own race in space exploration.
