Ferguson disputes Musk's recommendation of Iain M Banks's Culture series as guide to AI future
“When @elonmusk gave Iain M. Banks's "The Culture" series a shout-out in his interview with @TheEconomist, I had to intervene. Because Banks is not the right sci-fi writer if you want to understand our AI future.”
“@elonmusk “Honestly and if you ask me on any given day,” @elonmusk told Minton Beddoes, “in fact, even intraday, I’ve gone from exhilaration to terror regarding AI.” Doesn't that imply you're also wrong at least some of the time?”
