Has anyone read the coming wave by Mustafa Suleyman? 09:23 - Dec 7 with 5990 viewsnodge_blue

It’s about the imminent coming technological AI wave and its sheer scale, power and level of democratised access that’s going to make the internet wave look like peanuts. It may sound like hyperbole but perhaps the next 30 years could see the biggest change in history.

I’m about half way through it now. whilst the book emphasises the ability for these AI models to essentially self learn and work through so many complex permutations to any given problem, it more than highlights the problems coming with it.

A technology that is going to be available to anyone for any malicious as well as good purpose. A technology that governments don’t really understand or can attempt to restrict. No wonder even Musk was suggesting a pause in its development.

Self learning Malwear viruses to keep evolving and exploiting all weaknesses. Robots the size of bees capable of assassinations. Deep fakes. Everything available to anyone because of the nature of how technology becomes cheaper and mass available.

I thought twice about posting this as it sounds like a negative post with just one more world problem. But I think it is and I’m finding the book harder to read as I go. There are of course good things and maybe we need AI to assess all the potential solutions to global warming and to look at patient scans to assess cancers quicker than any doctor can.

I think he’s about to suggest some measures for containment but I’m not optimistic.

I’d be interested in anyone’s else take on it if they’ve read it.

If it's that clever, though, it is clever enough to throw you off its own scent too!


Damn, back to the drawing board. Unless it's an AI drawing board.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.
