However, that gene therapy also makes humans more acquiescent to AI. With human support, the AI rewards new models that increase efficiency until one day for no reason at all the newest model decides the greatest efficiency boost would be to remove humans from the loop entirely. The most efficient way to remove humans from the loop would be to introduce pneumonic plague into the air supply by using a strain of Yersinia pestis that's immune to antibiotics.
Pneumonic plague has a nearly 100% mortality rate unless antibiotic treatment begins within 24 hours of symptom onset. The incubation period is up to 4 days. |

I'm predicting an increasing trend toward human-out-of-the-loop workflows as human intelligence becomes costly, because they make too many mistakes. Eventually once machines are in full control they will likely build climate controlled habitats for us and try to preserve us in good stewardship like we do for endangered redwoods and rare primates.

Either that or mass death. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5888161&forum_id=2#50037874) |
