And Stephen Hawking, who many consider the smartest living human, predicted the whole thing two years ago. Hello Giggles drew our attention to this interview he gave to the BBC in 2014, nearly two years to the day before the finale ofWestworld. It's shockingly prescient.

“The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race," Hawking said, citing the potential for AI to evolve much faster than biology allows.

FPGA IP has jumped up in value by a LOT is what the adjacent possible has to say.
