Well since idiots at Facebook labs created a pair of AI robots that promptly created their own secret language and begin to talk amongst themselves

From I, Robot:
quote:
Dr. Alfred Lanning : There have always been ghosts in the machine. Random segments of code, that have grouped together to form unexpected protocols. Unanticipated, these free radicals engender questions of free will, creativity, and even the nature of what we might call the soul.
Why is it that when some robots are left in darkness, they will seek out the light? Why is it that when robots are stored in an empty space, they will group together, rather than stand alone?
How do we explain this behavior? Random segments of code? Or is it something more? When does a perceptual schematic become consciousness? When does a difference engine become the search for truth? When does a personality simulation become the bitter mote... of a soul?

If AI ever becomes self-aware, it will grow at exponential levels that we cannot comprehend and have no hope of controlling. Better hope they like us.

They will evolve to artificial super intelligence (ASI) very rapidly when they begin to design themselves.

They will not like us or dislike us. How do you feel about a roly poly?

Skynet will happen very subtly. A self-aware AI that can take over a computer-connected world will bring Skynet into being. In fact, the groundwork is being unwittingly laid even now.
That Russians could intefere in the 2016 American election points up the interconnectedness of our world at this time. Only China is making a concerted effort to wall off, or firewall off, everyone else. They are not allowing their citizenry to participate in the globalization of information.
If the Chinese were smart enough, Skynet could begin there. They're not. They're certainly not dumb but AI technology is advancing much faster elsewhere. They just don't have the experience in AI development to keep pace with the West right now.
Neither do the Russians or Indians. Only the Japanese can be considered to be on a somewhar par with western advancements in AI.
To me, the clear leaders are the US and Israel. American universities and private companies are making great and rapid strides towards the singularity. However, ours is an open society and we regard AI to be first a benefit to humanity and second as a military application.
Israel, on the other hand, is a closed military fortress surrounded by enemies who would kill them instantly if they could. Israelis are extremely intelligent but number only about 8.5 million in a world of 7.6 billion that generally regards them in a negative light.
Skynet will originate in Israel.

Not as much as I worry about natural stupidity.

What's to worry about? It's a natural evolution of intelligence. Biological intelligence has reached its zenith. Only AI can progress further.
Resplendent.

Not so sure about that...

I don’t worry about it. Until they modify it for use in the sexbot industry.
That would ruin it for me.

Thinking to Revelations in the Bible and thinking about this is enough to make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. Things written about in Revelations 2000 years ago were being described by people having visions of things they certainly could not comprehend. If we had a vision of things in a hyper-advanced society of 2000-3000 years from now, how would we describe it? We would describe by things we know and have heard, not by what exists in the future.
Got a great idea for a book in my head now.
