No one expected the age of AI would be upon us so quickly. Then ChatGPT came along, and the world changed. With something so powerful, there were four things we knew not to do. But we did them anyway. Read more at #TheBigPicture: https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/four-ai-warnings-already-done

"Science fiction often has the prescience that hard science alone does not."
But it often gets things seriously wrong and tends to be overly extreme - because it makes a good story.
Frankenstein and dozens of 50's sci-fi double features, for example, got everything wrong about medical science and the consequences of "tampering in God's domain."
Sci-fi is entertainment, not philosophy.

@georgetakei It depends. Science fiction gives us a way to explore certain things (like different political systems) quite easy. Take for example Plato's Politeia or Thomas Morus Utopia. While they were not really science fiction, they used similar concepts of worldbuilding. So, Science Fiction can be philosophy, but it does not have to be.
