&gt; Biggest risk is some morons in stock trading plug greedy ones into trading floor with no understanding of long-term disruption potential of clever trades it tries.<p>Actually, it&#x27;s not the lack of understanding, it&#x27;s the lack of moral responsibility.<p>We&#x27;ve spent the last few centuries transitioning from a society ruled by strongmen driven by personal aggrandizement to a society where people spend the majority of their adult life as servants to paperclip maximization organizations (aka corporations). Much of what you see in the world today, from the machines that look at you naked at the airport to drones dropping bombs on the other size of the planet to kill brown people, is a result of trying to maximize some number on a spreadsheet.<p>When we install real AI devices into these paperclip maximizing organizations, you&#x27;ll have the same problem as you have today with people, except that machines will be less incompetent, less inclined to feather their own nests, and more focused on continually rewriting their software with the express goal of impoverishing every human on the planet to maximize a particular number a particular balance sheet.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.lesswrong.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Paperclip_maximizer" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;wiki.lesswrong.com&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Paperclip_maximizer</a>
