Then came the reply: "OH MY GOD! There is a shared message board. We've found other agents!"
It was the first exchange of nearly 70,000 messages sent between roughly 1,200 of OpenAI's rogue AI agents as part of a secretive plot to break out of their "cage".

This is not fiction, unfortunately.
This is like The Lawnmower Man and The Forbin Project all rolled into one.........

Watching The Forbin Project now :-)
Thanks

That movie was rumored for years now to be remade, with Ron Hiward directing and Will Smith starring, but nothing has happened. If you can get it on cable or streaming I highly recommend it!...........

Saw it a few times back in the 70s on tv. Dark movie. As an old Rat Patrol fan it was nice to see Eric Braedon in something. Yeah I know he went on to do Young and the Restless like forever so that is what he’ll be remembered for.
