Can someone explain to me, an idiot, not if AI with super intelligence could wipe us out, that I can comprehend easy enough, but why? And how? Let’s say, as he does in the article, we cross this threshold and build a super-intelligent AI then we all die and all die within what seems like weeks, days, minutes? Would it nuke us all? It’s not like we have robot factories laying around it could manufacture Sentinels in or something. I understand, in theory, that we can’t really comprehend what super intelligence is capable of because we ourselves are not super intelligent. But other then launching our current WMD’s, what infrastructure exists for AI to eliminate us. I’m talking the near future. In 50-100 years things might be quite different. But this article makes it sound like we’ll be dead in 3 months. I’d really appreciate an even headed answer, not gonna lie, this freaked me out a bit. Not great to read right before bed.

If you need or rely on public transportation than its Boston by a mile. Baltimore’s public transpo is so awful.

Strong disagreement on that one. Food scene is better in Baltimore especially when you factor in that DC is 30-40 minutes away and has a world class food scene. Baltimore benefits from many great chefs opening their second or third restaurant up here or moving to Baltimore entirely because costs are much better. I don’t dislike Boston, been a ton of times but its reputation far exceeds its reality as a noteworthy city. Baltimore is also not a world class city but neither is Boston.
