What are your thoughts on this

As long as our AI is well ahead of the Chinese, Russian, North Korean, Iranian, ISIS AIs I'm sure we have nothing to worry about

What happens if two different AIs don't like each other?

AI will be much more than hardware, OS and firmware. It will require sophisticated programs and algorithms to put it all together. Whether that's in the code in the firmware or OS or the "application" software on that. Otherwise all you've got is a more powerful computer.

I've messed with a number of areas, but my day job is mostly applications and systems level programming - and if AI can eventually write all that - then great. Who really needs yet another website framework, payment processing system, etc?

We probably will get there eventually, but we will make a lot more mistakes on the way there. The number of bugs that will happen will be enormous and this is easy to predict just by looking at what is happening with software and systems now.

Technically it's already here in that there are devices already being hooked up all over the place. It's just that it will explode in number and type over the next few years as it becomes cheaper/mass market and easier to do - just like other technologies have in the past.

I think there's going to be some fantastic things come out of it that I can't even imagine at this point, but there will probably be some truly dumb things too, especially if some one can make a buck out of it and even more so if that buck grabbing is repeatable (subscriptions, pay per use, etc).

We better start building in Azimov's 3 laws of Robotics :-D

Can I get an 'intelligent' fridge that can keep my beer stocks optimal ?

They were out 3 years ago.
LGs fridge even told the oven how to cook the food it was holding.
However, just be warned, that ( under law 1 ), the fridge will be required to send your drinking ( and junk food eating habits ) to the state sanctioned "doctor bot", so that you can be sent for retraining before you hurt yourself.

The future doesn't need us!

We joke allot about AI and the Hollywood representations but the fact remains there is predatory elite that run this world and our future.

Don't forget the health insurance company's raising your premiums as a result of your risk from poor eating habbits.

There was a scandal a while back with the blood taken from newborns in the west having there DNA code sold to Health insurance company's to determine who is a risk for genetics disease.
