Mentally ill people will be triggered to do things by it. As an older guy, this reminds when LSD was introduced. We learned to manage that after we had a bunch of acid causalities and Charles Manson cults, we'll learn to manage this

A key difference here is that the effects of "smart" AI on networks binds tightly to, and in a way that is hard to detect integrates with, online channels of communication. Online channels of communication are quite the topic right now, considering phones use as social endpoint.

IMO- that ill-advised publicity and "party" campaign by Timothy Leary caused a lot of damage to a lot of people.
