For many decades some of our best minds have explored the possibilities of this development, and they mostly haven't made it look very inviting. There is something very scary about people with too much time on their hands. " Idle hands are the devil's workshop."
In 50 years people will be asking "If you could go back in time and kill Jeremy Howard, would you?"
