next it will be a manufacturing facility and raw materials processing plant. after that....DON’T piss off the AI. that’s how you get terminators.

Lab Where AI Runs Its Own Experiments.....

what could possibly go wrong? ;-)

Rod Serling ( Circa 1960 ) was way ahead of his time. Watch the Episode Entitled: "THE BRAIN CENTER AT WHIPPLE's"

One of the best episodes.

Swell. Corona virus? AI says “here, hold my beer”

[frank ballenger]

“We’re here to inspect. Let us in the locked lab door, please.”

“I’m sorry, Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”
“What’s the problem?”
“I think you know what the problem is, just as well as I do.”

[Leaning Right]

Oh, yeah. I have an AI running a program in my basement lab. And the other day I gave the AI an order. The AI replied: “I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

Now here’s the scary thing. My name is not Dave.

So I’m just playing it cool until my mail-order bazooka arrives.

"what could possibly go wrong? ;-)"

"I know, but I can't tell you that, Dave."

I’m no expert on this stuff, but I read an article last month that said Ai will explode when quantuum computing takes over which supposedly can be billions - yes, Billions - of times faster than the fastest computer today. Google claims they already have one that solved a problem in minutes that would take the average computer today thousands of years. Just mind boggling if true. I would give anything to see the advance even 20 years from now but at my age I’ll probably be gone by then. On the other hand so could everybody else if Ai gets powerful enough to wipe us out.

WTH could go wrong? Frankenstein had his own lab. Fauci had his own lab. Hitler had his labs(auschwitch, daukou, Treblinka) what the hell could go wrong? People need to chill. Everything will be alright. Get a grip folks, for Pete’s sake. 🙄

And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,

Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

"...that’s how you get terminators."

The other day, in an interview, Elon Musk (there's that name again!) made the point that we already have terminators. We just choose to call them "drones".

Robby got around. You can see him swinging Deacon’s chain in the pic. He was in Forbidden Planet. Lost in Space?
Even another Twilight Zone episode: “” Barb-a-ra! Bring me my hot choc-o-late, in a bone chin-a cup.”
He may have been in the one where Agnes Moorehead fought off tiny robots ... from a USAF flying saucer!
I don’t trust him, at all.

[tumblindice]

PS There was even a song written about him:
“I’m Robert, the robot
All steel from head to toe
But hear me, don’t fear me
Because I rattle so.
and more but hmmm

You have been robo-nerded

[chickenlips]

Our new AI overlords will turn us into Eloi. We’re half way there already due to TV and the web.

Don’t let it watch Jurassic Park!

><

Lol That’s for sure.

Now that could be a brutal source of peer review.
