A bot that converts Reddit threads into ace attorney scenes
I've wondered if the AI superintelligence everyone is watching out for is actually slowly being built from the bottom up, and encompasses evening in the entire world.  Deep Thought from Hitchhiker's Guide is seeming more and more plausible to me.  Perhaps this bot that makes Reddit videos doesn't do anything "useful" per se, but it is doing what a human might otherwise do, and adds itself to Reddit as an entity that could be indistinguishable from a person making silly videos.<p>What percentage of Reddit comments are bots?  I'd be curious to know.  SaaS and Lambda functions and and APIs are all like very complicated neurons that link together to form this world wide web of interactions.<p>I've wondered if an approach to the AI alignment problem is really to see that the entirety of all the computers in the world are a giant brain that is continually self-improving. Phoenix Wright bot is one neuron, like any other.  And so to align the world AI, you have to align the culture that makes the AI.  And so, basically, anything that one does to improve the culture in a sense improves AI.
