How Artificial Intelligence Will Make Digital Humans Hollywood's New Stars: [^]
"It's all over by 2045 — we are no longer running the show," predicts Regelous. "They will become so smart, and this won't be about motion pictures. They will be curing cancer and fixing global warming." But Regelous doesn't envision a bleak future. "Anything significantly smarter than us is going to value us. It will think, feel love and value life," he says, adding, "I hope I'm right. Otherwise, we are screwed." I'm going to bet on otherwise.
«While I complain of being able to see only a shadow of the past, I may be insensitive to reality as it is now, since I'm not at a stage of development where I'm capable of seeing it. A few hundred years later another traveler despairing as myself, may mourn the disappearance of what I may have seen, but failed to see.» Claude Levi-Strauss (Tristes Tropiques, 1955)

Yup, screwed.
It will feel the same kind of love as we do for bacon, and wipe any potential threat from existence in a bid for survival; because sooner or later, we would try the same.

Is there even any point in making high speculative "predictions" like that?
Especially when it's almost explicitly wishful thinking.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

While looking at something else I came across the following website
Industrial Grade Carbon Nanotubes[^]
If I understand that correctly, using the first option on the page one can buy a kilogram of nanotubes for $95.
So if you had a great idea to make a billion with them now would be the time.
Anyone for the next Pet Rock craze?

One of the mods I use in Minecraft is called PlusTiC, and it is an addon to Tinkers Construct (TiC). TiC allows players to create various weapons and tools, and customize them endlessly using Modifiers. Each material (iron, gold, etc) has Traits, and one of the traits added by PlusTiC made me laugh:
Quote: Democratic People's Republic of Korea - spawn the Supreme Leader, a creeper-like entity to defend the summoner
The thing looks like Kim Jong-Un.
I don't think Lil' Kim would like this.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???
