Awesome, but to me this stuff is also terrifying, and I can't quite place why.

Something about dissecting intelligence, and the potential that our own minds process things similarly. Creepy how our reality is distilled into these uncanny valley type matrices.

With AI it's trivial to get access to the inner workings of the intermediate layers.
