One of the marvelous things about community is that it enables us to welcome and help people in a way we couldn't as individuals.

But hey ... what's AI ?
This Is Not AI !
This Is AI
AI is about making technology sufficiently advanced to help us solve our biggest problems. It's not about creating problems.
But before turning to concerns about some of the possible side effects from AI, I want to start with the biggest worry I have about it: that we do not have enough of AI.
