In his 1965 book, Dune, Frank Herbert gives a profound warning about the dangers of artificial intelligence. What makes Herbert’s warning so profound is its uniqueness. Most science fiction stories deal with the AI control problem which carry implicit warnings for the reader about the danger of self-aware and super intelligent AI systems which become unaligned with the values of their human creators. Herbert, on the other hand, warns us about the AI creators rather than their artifacts. Perhaps we shouldn’t worry as much about Frankenstein’s monster as much as Dr. Frankenstein himself.

Hello ! Did you read The Empire of Silence by Christopher Ruicchio ? If you not, you really should … amazing sci-fy serie !!
Dune: Don't use AI… use eugenics instead.
Now this is a very interesting topic.
As much as I like technology and it's evolution, there is no doubt that there might be some people giving money to the companies that develop AIs to eventually use them as a tool to control the population, maybe with some discretion, but just like you mentioned, let's hope everything remains on Dune's universe ????????????.
But really, this is why I love sci-fi books, the authors always bring some what if's that should make us think about the world we're living and what could come next.
Since I’m thinking about everything you just said, I don’t have anything to add other than thank you for your thoughts!

Fascinating idea of Herbert to think that all major religions could merge into one in the future as the three biggest share almost the same fundational myths

Parker is a legit philosopher warrior
???? Good job ! It's a sad desecration of Frank Herbert's idea that his son Brian turned the Butlerian Jihad into a war between men and sentient machines.

I have quick question, are you a professor? Because you have a way of speaking that is so unique in a good way.
Love the video! Do you have a system to write your notes and journal (for example the bullet journal method)?
????????
This was awesome. I'd love more Dune videos! ???? ???? ????

Thanks for showing me another way to look at the AI issue! I had not considered this option – now I feel like the mark where the prestidigitator is getting me to look at his distraction hand, while the other hand is doing something nefarious while my attention is in the wrong place.
