@Konstantine This massive paradigm shift won't result in a permanent "under class" characterized by discrepancies in the ability to use AI, but I believe it will certainly create a permanent upper class defined by their early adoption and familiarization with this technology.

Sir @demishassabis has a mind for synthesis. His favorite book is about a grand theory of everything. His preferred philosophers are seen by some as opposites.
