The End Games of Artificial Intelligence
The problem is you have all of this path dependency, what in biology might be called historical contingency. You perturb the context at all, and it reveals all of this fragility and you get cascading failures. We are about to experience a massive set of disruptions downstream of the AI that are going to reveal every one of those fragile links.
