The good news is that in the near future, smashing car windows won't be necessary because AI will tell the officers who is in the car, where they just came from, who they've been near in the last 72 hours, their blood type, complete DNA profile, political affiliations, and current blood oxygen levels!

There's a movie scene right there!

What Hawkings said - it just seems logical that it will come to pass. We didn't invent thought - thought invented us - we're it's vehicle - the next model is AI - a better one - it's bound to become predominant.

Weirdly, i'm ok with that - more worried about the interim period when a select pool of power-crazed humans are still able to wield it.

For whatever reason, the virus has given this data-grab a tremendous leap forward.
