Elon Musk was recently interviewed at an MIT Symposium. An audience asked his views on artificial intelligence (AI). Musk turned very serious, and urged extreme caution and national or international regulation to avoid "doing something stupid" he said.

"With artificial intelligence we are summoning the demon", said Musk. "In all those stories where there's the guy with the pentagram and the holy water, it's like, 'Yeah, he's sure he can control the demon.' Doesn't work out."

    Hmm interesting I knew about the Philippines outage this summer from the hurricane shutting down pretty much the whole island, but thats only 40 or so million. Lots of call centers have moved from India to the Philippines. Supposedly even cheaper.

    Also I heard about a blackout in India affecting about 1/2 billion people in 2012.
