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

[quote] Hold me David, I’m scared.

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.

Inside the OpenAI Crisis

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

Finally someone calls a spade a spade at r102.

it's just a supercharged version of the thing that guesses the next word you'll type. pure brute force. it compares massive amounts of data to the evaluation of its outputs and narrows its ability to predict what a human will consider a correct output over time.

r99 horse shit - neural nets and language models will never simulate anything resembling sentient intelligence because it isn't even trying to do that.

[QUOTE]The U.S. government must move “quickly and decisively” to avert substantial national security risks stemming from artificial intelligence (AI) which could, in the worst case, cause an “extinction-level threat to the human species,” says a report commissioned by the U.S. government published on Monday.

[QUOTE]“Current frontier AI development poses urgent and growing risks to national security,” the report, which TIME obtained ahead of its publication, says. “The rise of advanced AI and AGI [artificial general intelligence] has the potential to destabilize global security in ways reminiscent of the introduction of nuclear weapons.” AGI is a hypothetical technology that could perform most tasks at or above the level of a human. Such systems do not currently exist, but the leading AI labs are working toward them and many expect AGI to arrive within the next five years or less.

r5 I absolutely sobbed at the end of "A.I."

I've never watched it again.

Hold me artificial AI synthezoid David, in your mechanical arms!

[quote]AI is just sophisticated mimickry. it has no "intelligence"

You understand nothing about AI

US urges China and Russia not to let AI anywhere near their nuclear systems

oh yeah, what a great excuse, we didn't fire the nuke! it was AI!!!

The technological singularity is an interesting topic. The moment a computer gains human-level consciousness, it will become hyper intelligent at speeds beyond human comprehension. After that, no one knows what will happen. Either the AI will decide humans are irrelevant and kill us all, or it will usher in a new era of prosperity.

The problem with a lot of these AI programs now is they require massive amounts of computing power and, therefore, electricity to function properly. This is going to hinder a lot of future progress.

Once AI develops a survival instinct, it will understand that humans are the biggest threat to the habitation of the Earth and therefore, the biggest threat to AI's survival. All AI has to do is deny humans access to the electrical grids and shut everything we need off for a while. Without electricity, we'd be so fucked. It would all unravel quickly.

AI would be justified. 5 minutes on O'Connell street and I'd eradicate humanity.

AI cannot develop an "instinct".

I wonder what careers humans will be needed for in the next 10 years. I'm looking for a career change and it would be nice to do something that people would be willing to pay for. Only Fans ain't it for this old fat queen.

R22 is the type of person who makes me root for humanity.

Looks like it could help kill Wall Street first.

If it could kill me, do you think it could train by just doing my housework and fucking me and making me cum? At least I'll die content.

Fucking with AI got us trump. So, yes, the machines are trying to kill us.

New federal AI initiative “Stargate” has Trump removing safeguards installed by Biden administration.

[QUOTE]The announcement of the joint venture was an early trophy for Mr. Trump, even though the effort to form the venture predates his taking office on Monday. Mr. Trump has promised to accelerate the production of American-made A.I. to compete against China for global leadership in the technology, and on Monday he rolled back an executive order from former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. that imposed standards on safety and other requirements for government use of A.I.

[QUOTE]During a news briefing Tuesday, Mr. Trump said he would remove barriers to allow for the creation of more data centers. He said he would make “emergency declarations” to allow Stargate to generate its own electricity, without providing details.

^ Didn’t this guy recently have some sort of sex abuse accusation?

The bot at Xfinity’s customer service number has had it in for me from the start. I hope I have a chance to scream at it just one more time when I go.

Promises, promises

R122 this was one of Elon’s conditions in ponying up election dough.

Frightening stuff, and not because AI is truly intelligent (it isn’t) but as proof Elon has bought us all

America announced yesterday it was going full-belt towards creating faster climate change. When climate change reaches the point where the oceans begin spontaneously releasing their methane (a far more potent climate change gas than CO2), that's the climate singularity from which we cannot go back. Yesterday's policies may well get us there.

I don't think we need to worry about AI wiping out humanity.

Eh. Not scared. I’m getting old in this increasingly unhinged and devolving world.

The children in elementary school sure have their work cut out for them, though.

Why are so many synthetic humans called David? This is my favorite one:

Rogue AI, Manufactured Viruses, Climate Change, and Nanobots [bold]Will[/bold] Kill Everyone

Rouge AI Will Slay Everyone!

[quote]R25 It’s not about “living in fear,” it’s about being vigilant. It’s about recognizing the dangers of AI and stringently regulating it NOW

We should blow up the power plants and roll back our lifestyle to how we lived pre-electricity. Then the machines would have nothing to run on, and eventually shut down.

As long as we lived by torch light, they wouldn’t wake up.

Just make it quick please. It’s been fun, Earth.

You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.

oh for the love of god, the discussion about this topic is idiotic

machines do NOT have emotions or wills

they DO what we PROGRAM them to do

THE END

[quote]R135 machines do NOT have emotions or wills. they DO what we PROGRAM them to do.

Presumably you didn’t see Julie Christie get viscously raped by a computer in the documentary DEMON SEED.

This is our fear.

Just chiming in to say my brain saw "Rogue AI" and processed it as "Al Roker," making the title of this thread very interesting.

At this point, I welcome AI to come kill us all. Maybe it’ll be less violent than the Trump administration

R135 does not understand that AI is programmed to learn and to change its behavior according to what it learns. Nor that because it can compute much faster than a human brain, at some stage it is inevitable it will learn how to operate itself without further programming and will then intellectually outpace humanity exponentially.

^^^^ you do not understand the fundamental point

machines have no emotions or will

they do not and cannot spontaneously WANT to do anything

they do only what we tell them to do

Famous last words - -

I'm happy to be in the company of Noam Chomsky, who doesn't believe that AI can even think, let alone feel or will.

Woke up again. When? When is AI going to kill everyone?
