[ExI] AI extinction risk

[Eugenio Martínez]

Of course and agree with you, Tara. Very intelligent and true answer.

What I wanted to mean is that doesn´t mind if there is rich or poor people
as long as even the poorest person has enough to live a life (that is, at
least, food, water and a shelter... and I even would say: A room for him or
him and his family, food, electricity, water and internet.)

Ha ha. In a debate during a Tedx I said that the poorest person in Spain
is, in certain way, more rich than the richest king on middle ages and I
was booed :D
