這本書談了新科技(AI 合成生物學 量子運算等)、國家、與資本之間複雜而矛盾的關係，也描繪這些科技可能帶來毀滅性衝擊。
讀起來其實蠻可怕的。
🌐 國家曾是創新的核心，但如今許多政府已逐漸失去這個角色，把技術創新外包給企業、顧問與私部門。「戰爭創造國家，國家創造戰爭」這句話令人警醒——尤其當科技一方面集中權力，一方面又讓小團體擁有巨大的影響力。
📉 作者指出，未來科技發展的三種潛在結局：
災難：普及的強大科技被濫用。
反烏托邦：為避免災難而採取全面監控。
停滯：為避免前兩者而停止進步。
在這三者之間，作者提出了一條「狹窄走廊」：我們只能一步一步地，小心地在自由與安全之間取得平衡，結合公私力量、文化建構、國際協作，打造一種技術可控性的未來。
📌 我覺得這就像民主，民主不是一個終點，而是一條不穩定的路，是一種跑步的方式，停止用這種方式競賽，就是民主死亡的那天。
我們能否成功走在這條細窄的路上，是這個世代共同的考驗。

Wow: “Early in the COVID-19 pandemic a blizzard of disinformation had deadly consequences. A Carnegie Mellon study analyzed more than 200 million tweets discussing COVID-19 at the height of the first lockdown. Eighty-two percent of influential users advocating for “reopening America” were bots. This was a targeted “propaganda machine,” most likely Russian, designed to intensify the worst public health crisis in a century.”

82 percent!
John von Neumann (Manhattan Project): “What we are creating now, is a monster whose influence is going to change history, provided there is any history left, yet it would be impossible not to see it through, not only for military reasons, but it would also be unethical from the point of view of the scientists not to do what they know is feasible, no matter what terrible consequences it may have.”
Robert Oppenheimer: “When you see something that is technically sweet, you go ahead and do it, and you argue about what to do about it only after you have had your technical success.”
“Put simply: most technology is made to earn money. [..] much of what we see around us is powered by human intelligence in direct pursuit of monetary gain.”
Excerpt From
The Coming Wave
Mustafa Suleyman & Michael Bhaskar
Well, isn’t that just so interesting: “[..] there is a strong case that by definition a superintelligence would be fully impossible to control or contain. An “intelligence explosion” is the point at which an AI can improve itself again and again, recursively making itself better in ever faster and more effective ways. Here is the definitive uncontained and uncontainable technology. …
