Also, Ravinder.... think about this another way.

In the movies, you see the Evil Death Star coming from The Empire to destroy all freedom loving people in the Galaxy.

What the movies do not talk about is "Who Built the Death Star" and all the technology behind the "Evil Empire".

Well.... I will tell you.

Well, educated people in the Empire were recruited when they graduated from the best universities in the Empire and paid huge sums of money to develop the various technologies the Empire needs to build Death Rays, and Death Stars.

Do the great sci-fi movies go into this part of the story?

No, they do not. They only show us the Death Star and all the Evil Technology, but they do not show us the generations of well-intended university graduates who were so happy to get a top paying job with Empire companies.

This is because humans need to make a living to support their families and they want top paying jobs when they graduate (just like everyone here, right?).

Just like the Empire pays top dollar to college graduates to build all the things the Empire needs in Star Wars to control the Galaxy, so does big tech companies on Earth, need to recruit the smartest from universities and pay them top dollar to work on all their targeting algorithms, filtering algorithms and A.I. applications in general.

Even the best intended engineers and scientists are seduced by "The Dark Side", which in real life, as in the Star Wars space opera, is motived by greed, influence, power and domination (getting and staying on top).

Think about it.

Now, I'm not saying that big tech on Earth is the "Evil Empire"; but what I am saying is that all this great technology is built by someone, both on Earth or within the Empire. Most of the university graduates in the Empire were not evil, terrible people who wanted to squash the rebellion and dominate the Galaxy; they just wanted higher paying jobs and to take care of their family, just like the engineers and scientists here on Earth.

What is the difference?

How different is reality on Earth and science fiction?

Do you really think "A.I' is so great for human society in spite of all the negative impact on society (weaponized information, information warfare, disinformation, information targeting, non-human content editors who do not go a very good job compared to humans {but who are cheaper than humans and put humans out of work}, etc.) and all the unintended consequences yet to be seen?
