Here comes....

+++ THE TERMINATOR +++

[allendale]

Well he is doing his part. He is producing self driving, programmed cars that will take people where the state wants them to go, not necessarily where they would like to go.

[SkyDancer]

I wonder if AI can become either the Anti-Christ or the False Prophet mentioned in Revelation; would be interesting if the software number would be Microsoft release MS666.01

[airborne]

It’s inevitable.

Resistance is futile.

[plain talk]

They are machines. Design them in such a way that humans are always in control. Of course that might be a problem too. Which humans are in control? Communist humans can find allies in machines to carry out their work.

[Paladin2]

The TV show POI explores the start of this trend.

[VanDeKoik]

AI is nothing but a tool. No different than a drill, hammer, or even a gun.

The only way any of them can be “bad” is if an evil person makes them evil.

That’s why you need moral people.

[Ciaphas Cain]

We had an immoral dictator for eight years who didn’t need artificial intelligence. Or any intelligence at all for that matter.

[MeanWestTexan]

He is only worried it won’t be him.

[super7man]

Its all right here.

[Bitman]

I find myself agreeing with Elon. Actually, combining AI, Machine Learning, and autonomous machines scares the hell out of me. I don’t think regulations will help either. Someone will go rogue or a form of machine evolution will occur which will produce a hostile machine intelligence. Either way, it could be a very unpleasant future.

Just for fun... Google Sophie and hear some of the stuff that comes out of that machine. And that thing is barely functional in the grand scheme of things.

[Karliner]

Meh Lucifer won’t allow that. Then Jesus will smash it all.

[meyer]

Does he mean like another Obama?

[Deaf Smith]

Old Star Trek episode:

Two worlds at war, each controlled by AI. The war is fought by each world destroying it's citizens is dictated by the opposing AI.

[Freedom_Is_Not_Free]

Musk is right. It is a terrifying prospect to hand over your sovereignty to automation.

[Dr. Sivana]

Saviour Machine -- David Bowie



President Joe once had a dream
The world held his hand, gave their pledge
So he told them his scheme
for a saviour machine
They called it the Prayer,
its answer was law
Its logic stopped war,
gave them food
How they adored
till it cried in its boredom
"Please don't believe in me,
please disagree with me
Life is too easy, a plague seems quite feasible
now Or maybe a war, or I may kill you all
Don't let me stay, don't let me stay
My logic says burn,
so send me away
Your minds are too green,
I despise all I've seen
You can't stake your lives on a saviour machine
I need you flying,
and I'll show that dying
Is living beyond reason,
sacred dimension of time
I perceive every sign, I can steal every mind
Don't let me stay, don't let me stay
My logic says burn,
so send me away
Your minds are too green, I despise all I've seen
You can't stake your lives on a saviour machine

[ASOC]

How would an “AI dictator” be any different than a meat-world version? Bad is bad after all.

On the other hand, maybe the Luddites were right all along...

[Deaf Smith]

Found it: Season 1, episode 23 A Taste of Armageddon.

[ADemocratNoMore]

>...if we’re building a road, and an anthill happens to be in the way.

May I suggest that instead of ants it’s a nest of vipers. We may destroy the nest but viper venom can be used to treat various medical conditions. We can’t and won’t destroy ALL vipers, it would not be in our self interest.

Now take an AI. At some point it will become self aware. An AI that can understand real time events will base it’s world-view on it’s perception of the same reality we all share. It will immediately discover that there are aspects of Human responses to that shared reality that quite literally “Do not compute”. Aspects of Human behavior such as creativity and “Genius” that are lacking in AI consciousness will be dreamed desirable to the AI.

I think that future generations of AI will be Human/AI collaborations where each entity’s unique talents will contribute to a gestalt that is, by definition, greater than the sum of it’s parts. Destroying Humanity would NOT would be in an AI’s self interest. One hopes.

A computer has one big disadvantage, a power cord.
