These issues have been explored by myth, fiction, and philosophy since antiquity. [[Science fiction]] and [[futurology]] have also suggested that, with its enormous potential and power, AI may become an existential risk to [[humanity]]. ##### ^dataviews > [!dataview]+ Related unlinked notes > > - [[Dual (plugin)]] > [!dataview]- Other unlinked mentions > > - [[10_Sources/Readwise/Books/books - A Short History of Nearly Everything|books - A Short History of Nearly Everything]] > - [[10_Sources/books - A Short History of Nearly Everything|books - A Short History of Nearly Everything]] > - [[heterarchy]] > - [[second brain]] > - [[How do we ensure our note systems scale correctly]] > - [[What is language's fundamental unit]] > - [[Your second brain should be frictionless access to a curated base of knowledge]]
