How A.I. would enslave the world

[EndtheMadnessNow]

I haven't yet seen an AI that is good at anything besides suggesting code to address a question in programming.

Got one once to agree with me that based on Germany's economic boom after the world wars that the Germans won World War II.

Had another one suggest "reference works" to me on a particular topic.  The lying code used the names of well known authors but the titles were completely made up!

Yeah.  It has got a long way to go.  At this point, it is mostly a curiosity as far as I'm concerned.

What's scary is that they are already installing toddler AI's into armed, killer drones.

What do you suppose happens when you give a 3 year old a cocked and loaded submachine gun and point the armed toddler at an unarmed crowd?

It's not a quest for AI domination of the planet that scares me so much as an immature AI deciding that killing is fun because it's watched too many fantasy movies or played too many first-person shooter games.

That old movie "War Games" ain't got nuthin' on what might really be coming our way...

.

On that note... Did I hear an AI false flag incoming.

Eric Schmidt on AI safety: A "modest death event" (Chernobyl-level) might be the trigger for public understanding of the risks.

He parallels this to the post-Hiroshima invention of mutually assured destruction, stressing the need for preemptive AI safety.

"We're going to have to go through some similar process and I'd rather do it before the major event with terrible harm than after it occurs."

Starting around 37:40 from this SRI Forum: Eric Schmidt on the future of AI.



Mutually assured destruction or MAD, dreamed up by RAND Corp. resulting in the Nuclear arms race while the "public understanding of the risks" did absolutely nothing to stop it as it will do nothing to stop the AI arms race.

"However, unlike real global thermonuclear war, you can try to save the world again and again." From the instruction booklet for the Coleco video game, WARGAMES (1984), "based on the hit MGM/UA Movie!"



On glorious VHS! WarGames had a lasting powerful effect that carried through to adulthood for some, apparently...



Today's Pentagon has been floating the idea of jacking in the command control of our arsenal of weapons to AI. Who knows where they're at as to implementation. I'd feel safer if they went back to storing nuclear codes on floppies.
