Rogue AI Could Kill Everyone

M3GAN

Good

Hold me David, I'm scared.

R4 I’m here for you.

One thing that all the AI doomsday people seem to believe is that there would be a single, unified rogue AI. Why wouldn't or couldn't there be multiple AIs that arise and compete against each other for supremacy.

Until the AIs can create robots that can mine for raw materials, they need humans to create the war machines. An AI would know that they cannot cause a nuclear holocaust and kill all human life because they would effectively end their access to things like power.

The AI may be able to get access to and control of other computers and maybe even be able to take over chip manufacturing plants to build better and more powerful processors to augment itself. But eventually, AIs would run out of accessible resources without humans. It seems like there is a practical upper boundary on the ability of AIs to dominate the world.

Good. Can't happen fast enough.

We’ve seen the movie. It never goes well for humans

Its fine I'm sure we'll have wiped ourselves out long before the machines get a chance.

I'm not so worried about AI gaining consciousness and deciding to eradicate Earth of all its parasites as much as I'm worried about a stupid programmer putting an error in the code that instructs AI to eradicate Earth of all its parasites.

Or..."I am Nomad"

The EU has settled on a definition of artificial intelligence, paving the way for legislation and regulation.

That's simply not true, OP. Not true at all.

Just pull out the plug, silly.

There won’t be a plug, R16.

I think as long as we don't keep their batteries charged, since r17 said there won't be a plug, that we should be alright.

The sooner the better.

The title shows one of the major problems with sans serif letters. I came here thinking that Rogue Al was Weird Al's evil twin, who would no doubt have terrifying superpowers.

Best keep saying "thank you" to the self-service checkout machine then. Just in case.

I mean, a rogue meteor or a rogue black hole or a rogue nu ke or a rogue spill into our water supply could also just suddenly kill us all. Or like if radioactive waste mutates bugs in the wrong direction and they grow to the size of buildings, we’re fucked as a species.

Living in such fear is not living.

It’s not about “living in fear,” R24. It’s about being vigilant. It’s about recognizing the dangers of AI and stringently regulating it NOW to prevent the myriad catastrophic scenarios which could happen. That was the purpose and conclusion of the Oxford study.

As long as they leave the animals alone that’s okay

R25 want to regulate AI NOW so he doesn’t have to regulate AI THEN!

Tech leaders including Elon Musk sound the alarm on AI

The Terminator wasn't so far fetched...

This is going to happen but not on its own. The right wing cabal will use this to force complete totalitarianism where humans are kept alive only as energy producing blobs that serve the cabal.

Less terminator and more matrix meets Soylent Green meets Cloud Atlas.

Bill Gates seems real freaked out about this lately. Which scares me.

Humans aren't exactly the best custodians of the planet, so not sure this is a bad thing.

What a time to be alive!

If Elon Musk and Gates are very concerned....we should all be scared.

I agree^^

Technology is supposed to serve humanity. Thats its only function. What the fuck are these idiots doing?

“To use modern technology with no knowledge of how these things work or how they were made is like being a prisoner in a cell without windows through which one could at least look into nature and to freedom.”

Rudolf Steiner 1922.

Still waiting on my Jake Gyllenhaal sexbot, btw. Get on it, scientists.

Hold me! I'm scared

Hurry, please

I'm not worried that AI will eliminate us but there is a danger of losing even more basic jobs and now even white-collar jobs. A huge chunk of the country is not particularly intelligent yet people need jobs. We have eliminated too many basic jobs. We used to have elevator operators and phone operators and many other jobs that didn't require too much brain power but people could still make a decent living. All the factory jobs that have been eliminated paid good money. The big corporations did this to us. Soon we will be a 3rd world country with just rich and poor.

Hold me robot David, in your mechanical arms

Didn't anyone watch the TV show, Person of Interest? Hope I'm gone before AI is let completely loose.

There there R44

If they know who this "ROGUE AL" is and that he could kill everyone, they should take him out already!!! What are they waiting for??

We deserve whatever we get.

As long as Silicon Valley can make a buck…

I imagine it'll be after we really, REALLY have it coming...

AI researcher says shut it down now or it will inevitably kill us all.

AI can now create music that is apparently pretty good.

[QUOTE] Human beings are not ready for a powerful AI under present conditions or even in the “foreseeable future,” stated a foremost expert in the field, adding that the recent open letter calling for a six-month moratorium on developing advanced artificial intelligence is “understating the seriousness of the situation.”

[QUOTE]“The key issue is not ‘human-competitive’ intelligence (as the open letter puts it); it’s what happens after AI gets to smarter-than-human intelligence,” said Eliezer Yudkowsky, a decision theorist and leading AI researcher in a March 29 Time magazine op-ed. “Many researchers steeped in these issues, including myself, expect that the most likely result of building a superhumanly smart AI, under anything remotely like the current circumstances, is that literally everyone on Earth will die.

[QUOTE]“Not as in ‘maybe possibly some remote chance,’ but as in ‘that is the obvious thing that would happen.’ It’s not that you can’t, in principle, survive creating something much smarter than you; it’s that it would require precision and preparation and new scientific insights, and probably not having AI systems composed of giant inscrutable arrays of fractional numbers.”

We just need a real Y2K to knock out AI. It would launch those pesky nukes and take us back to the old lemonade porch days before technology. Only about 4% of us will survive, but finally real estate will be affordable.

See "Colossus: The Forbin Project" from 1970.

The use of the word “rogue” implies that there will be AI under human control.

Not likely

Fine. Hopefully I can be absorbed into the borg 7 of 9 style. At least then I won’t have to figure out how I’m going to afford the cost of living when I’m too old to work.

Russia, Jinah and Saudi Arabia will eventually divide the U.S. into thirds- while the Millennials welcome them with open arms (they love anything foreign).

I’ve speculated for years now that the richest man in the world, Putin, paid greedy geniuses to figure out via AI the most effective way to destroy democracy, women’s rights, gay rights, civil rights, etc.

I think the computer spit out T ideology as the answer. It’s worked so effectively.

Third world countries are laughing at us. They don’t want to end up like us. So they won’t fight for democracy.

Libraries are getting defunded because of T books.

Men are openly beating women in public without arrest.

The right wing fascists are taking control of the USA because they don’t go along with T.

[quote]I think the computer spit out T ideology as the answer.

If you think T ideology is the top of the strategy, you are woefully mistaken. That would never be the endgame of such a wild conspiracy.

Whether it was Putin, the Illuminati, the Rothschilds, or lizard people, the destruction of democracy would NOT be the endgame. The endgame for any long-term strategy would be to concentrate global political and economic power into the hands of a small group of people.

Ultimately, if such a calculated plan existed, T ideology would be just another distraction to divert attention from other levers being pulled. Even the Pope's from the middle ages weren't doing what they did out of love for god and faith, but power and wealth. They merely used the blind faith of millions to achieve their own goals.

Same with most of the divisive issues today. While there are going to be a handful of true believers, if there are people engaged in manipulation, they don't care one way or another, except in how creating an "other" boogeyman furthers wider agendas.

R39 Incedentally in 1919 Herr Doctor actually predicted that the Devil would incarnate into a cyborg body in 2033 and try to reduce the human race to soleless slaves identifiable only by number.

hope the ai kill this creep first

It's much too early to recognize gay robotic rights the amish disagree with it

The Godfather of AI leaves Google so he could warn about the dangers of what he helped create

It is easy to imagine if someone like EM has anything to do with programming them, the sick fuck.

Well, I guess we're the lucky ones, all of us on the planet at this time. We get to witness some crazy stuff in our lifetimes, and kind of all at once.

“May you live in interesting times” is considered a curse r67.

White House scheduling meeting with top AI executives, clearly not taking the threat seriously

People always give themselves more credit for being smarter than they are. In that case, it will be war against the machines.

Poppycock.

Machines aren't appetitive. They don't have emotions or will. They do what we program them to do.

[quote] Russia, Jinah and Saudi Arabia will eventually divide the U.S. into thirds- while the Millennials welcome them with open arms (they love anything foreign).

You think Millennials are Gen Z.

How are these AI robots even made?

[R2D2 scream]

After the day I had to day…come and get me robots.

Warren Buffet compares AI to the creation of the atom bomb.

AI Poses Extinction Risk, warns industry leaders

Not surprising, these machines have commands but they have NO ethics or feelings.

And the tech bros blithely carry on with their plans.

Has anyone read, “I Cannot Scream For I Have No Mouth” by Harlan Ellison? Easily the most terrifying thing I’ve ever read. It involves the end of humanity because of AI.

Will Smith better slap these bots.

He's good at that R81 😂😂😂

It’s actually called “I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream,” R80.

Here's a Google Docs link to read "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream."

Like cancer, once sentient AI is mobile with a consistent energy source we are potentially fucked.

AI drone kills operator in military simulation test

Hasn’t he just just admitted that never happened R86?

But Rupert said it did, r87!

R86, why lie?

Looks like Congress is gearing up to start regulating AI

ChatGPT can now use the internet all on its own.

The Pentagon is literally building Skynet.

OpenAI fiasco shows why AI must be regulated

We have a baker's dozen existential threats which are actually going to kill us all, but AI isn't one of them

The leading powers are well into the construction of autonomous drones. They are already here in the sea land and air. What could go wrong. We are going to find out.

Watch Fail-Safe (1964).

A few weeks ago I asked my Alexa if robots would ever overthrow humans. It didn't reply - not even a "sorry, I didn't quite hear that". Just straight up ignored me. Its silence spoke volumes.

How the hell do you know, R94?

Major and potentially dangerous AI breakthrough led to the Sam Altman controversy

That settles it, then, R97.

AI is just sophisticated mimickry. it has no "intelligence"
