Im somebody else replying to this thread. I think the predators will follow whichever troden path is to catch more and more victims in their nets. If the ocean of darknes dries up of victims they’ll adapt to land. AI technologies will, in my opinion, become more entangled with the real world. More devices are listening, seeing, labeling and categorizing and that will only explode in ubiquity. I think there will be no escape from it even in the real world.

One, because they already exist. Do you not know some person that starts talking about MLM bullshit?

Two, large predators rarely go quietly in the night from starvation. They typically expand their hunting grounds and try new types of prey.

Ideas are contagious, even if they originate from or soread through an AI.
