You've put it better than I did, my friend. I had a prolonged
  argument with a friend last night about the subject, He has
  everything logically figured out but neglects the sources of the
  very premise that he was trying to prove.

  After 1,111 words [I copy and paste my 1/2 of interesting
  conversations to my website for archival:
  [1]http://icopiedyou.com/artificial-intelligence-stop.../ is
  where I stuck it] - I finally explained myself fully and told
  him that I didn't care about the debate - I just cared if he was
  taking it seriously enough to be upset by it as a possibility
  for the future.

  I worry about people's psychological health more than what their
  beliefs are. Beliefs are fine but excessive fervent beliefs can
  be a "bad thing" psychologically, imo. [even an excessively
  fervent belief in Psychology tongue emoticon ] Swarm
  technologies generate fear in people as well but that's because
  we're afraid of swarms of bees.

  I guess I believe in society, oddly enough. I don't have to rant
  about "the dangers of [x]" because I'd be entirely replaceable
  if I did. Someone else is more upset than I and will somehow
  make sure there are laws and safeguards in place. I pick my
  "World Battles" carefully and save my energies to helping
  individuals as I come across them. That's where I can make a
  real difference.
