The obvious mirror conclusion to this result is that MBA programs churn out thousands of people annually who do essentially mundane meaningless work, easily duplicated by simple algorithms. Is anyone surprised to hear this?

From what I've seen, AI has or will have the ability to solve complicated tasks in research, calculations, economics, and science much faster than humans with very good accuracy. I think this is great. One day, AI will be given more control over operations. I wonder how humans will keep the gate closed on AI getting lose into unfettered access to everything.

Last I heard (though that was a while ago) we probably can't.

If AI got loose, wouldn't it try to stay undetected for as long as possible?

I suppose it might. I hadn't considered that. I don't know how we would even tell if it had already happened, this is only what's publicly disclosed right now, right?

Yeah. It may have accessed data outside of its "cage", but has it stepped out yet? That is the question. How would we know if it figured out a way to do so undetected? My guess is that it isn't "smart" enough to care. I think someone would still need to program it to do that.

Yeah I don't quite know what to make of it right now. I don't know enough.
