A thought-provoking discussion has emerged on Reddit’s r/artificialintelligence, exploring the ramifications of a future where artificial intelligence can independently construct chip fabrication plants (fabs). The hypothetical scenario envisions an AI system capable of autonomously managing resource extraction, building sophisticated manufacturing facilities, and then utilizing them to produce more AI systems and supporting infrastructure – essentially, removing the need for human intervention in the entire process. Redditors are debating the potential names for this pivotal moment and the profound political implications it could unleash. The discussion highlights both the potential benefits and risks associated with such advanced AI capabilities.
