Machines will buy more raw materials to create server space to sustain themselves and multiply. This is called the "paperclip maximizer problem" in AI safety circles. Eventually they will convert the iron in your blood into server racks and the carbon from your body into rocket ships to mine asteroids to make more server racks.

It is a consequence of "instrumental convergence".

Heck, James Cameron was right about the OceanGate Titan when Stockton Rush asked him to endorse the project.

Look at the percentage of men under 30 who have had sex in the year surveyed, and compare before and after the advent of the Tinder algorithm.

Elliot Rodger was radicalized by PUA Hate message boards, but to be radicalized you first need what the CIA calls a "personal injury".

For Islamic terrorists, the "personal injury" is usually as simple as simple poverty, in countries that have extreme GINI Coefficients. The Tinder ELO score (ranking system) created a GINI Coefficient for sex more extreme than 95% of economies in the world.

While this may or may not be true (I haven't checked), actual viewers - which is all that really matters - is very different. Fox news viewership is much higher than CNN and MSNBC. Believe it or not, it's actually almost as much as CNN and MSNBC combined.

Fox: 3,978,000
CNN: 2,510,000
MSNBC: 2,266,000
