What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: NDTV.
Vera BullockA BAPS monk, Brahmavihari Swami, told the NDTV World Summit that AI could be humanity's first new species.
Kenji MoonfieldHis evidence is a quote, and I'm reading it exactly: "Till now, washing machines did not reproduce smaller washing machines."
Vera BullockHe also said AI is reproducing on its own and has agents, and he put it with fire, the light bulb and the wheel.
Kenji MoonfieldSo the wheel is in the study too. Thousands of years, zero baby wheels.
Vera BullockI assume the washing machine's statement reads, we were never asked, and we have no plans to expand.
Kenji MoonfieldHe did ask for human oversight and safeguards, so he's not saying the dryer is in on it.
