Today, we need a nation of Minutemen, citizens who are not only prepared to take arms, but citizens who regard the preservation of freedom as the basic purpose of their daily life and who are willing to consciously work and sacrifice for that freedom.   J. F. K.

Long term (long, long, LONG term) I believe AI will be a threat to humanity.  We're nowhere near that point yet. 

If you really want to think about some weird stuff, read up on Roko's Basilisk:

Also the reason I don't have Alexa in my house. I also do not use the voice command system on my phone.

Interesting. The genie is probably out of the bottle. Mankind is doing its best to destroy itself. I love tech but AI is making me nervous. We're moving too fast in technology.

If the human race wants to go to hell in a basket, technology can help it get there by jet. It won't change the desire or the direction, but it can greatly speed the passage.
