Human brains, if they contain information relevant to the AI’s goals
has one highly trained police agent for every two proletarians.
These still mainly depend on remote control.

Human decision makers often seem to be acting out an identity or a social role.
US equity markets were already down 4% on worries about European
human brains. If they contain information relevant to the AI’s goals,

in combination such mutations may enact a heavy toll.
An example might be the difficulty of learning Boolean—
these still mainly depend on remote control.

If one increases the density of the computer, one slams into the black hole.
Security concerns might furnish another reason:
human brains. If they contain information relevant to the AI’s goals,

then the happiness of these souls
forecast for the next eon—
these still depend mainly on remote control.

Future progress in artificial intelligence; a poll
detailed observation and regulation. There might be one:
human brains, if they contain information relevant to the AI’s goals.
These still mainly depend on remote control.
