All the comments which accompany that video predicting that AI will lead to the collapse of civilization remind me of one of my favorite Sci-Fi films from the '50s...Forbidden Planet.
The Krell develop a technology for artificially boosting intelligence that's powered by an unlimited energy source but fail to realize that their achievements have outpaced their more primitive mental abilities to control them. In the end, their very own "Monsters from the ID" doom their entire race.
Could we now be on the verge of following the Krell into oblivion?
