Yes, perhaps this is right Rodney.

Certainly the history of humanity would serve as a strict reminder of our collective foolishness.

On the other hand, are we to always assume a repetition of our past mistakes, that things will always go the way they always have? Is there not perhaps some way we can use each novel gateway as the opportunity to learn, collectively, what it is we need to know to live harmoniously? Should we simply think we are doomed or should we try to be hopeful? After all, AI is here whether we think it is good or not.

I certainly hope this is possible.
