You know it and I know it, we're facing a robot/AI takeover of all we hold dear. We must resist!
AI will take over everything. It's literally just a matter of time. There are 3 directions I see it going.
1) More on the utopia side. It takes over jobs we become a post working class society, we have some sort of UBI and people are able to focus on betterment of society. Yeah, like I said, pipe dream utopia.
2) AI pulls a terminator and we go down that path.
3) corporations decide that AI and machines are cheaper, Start laying off hordes of people unemployment starts to go through the roof. The wealthy increase their riches more than they did during the pandemic, while everyone except the wealthy can't afford basics. Government will be crippled by years of cutting taxes on said corporations and focusing it more on the dwindling middle class and poor. Eventually (and far FAR to late) will try raising taxes to cover costs but by that time most governments will have collapsed and it'll be corporations running things.
The 3rd is the most likely outcome seeing how the rich and corporations flourished on the pandemic. I see no reason they wouldn't do the same when they don't NEED workers. They can cut themselves free of their biggest cost, us.
There's no hope!

True AI is not possible - but this is a tricky debate to get deeply into due to no religion rules.
Instead what we will likely see is limited level of mimicry driven by Machine Learning principles.
But it matters who makes it, who guides it, who adjusts its input and what it is asked of outputs. I am very sure many people will consider these machines to be AI even when they are not.
The take over will be real and it will be messy in the same way machines disrupted industrial industry the same will happen in white collar tech/knowledge jobs. There is a lot of 'busy' work out there.

Option 4) We become dependent on them and cyberwarfare, solar flare, or other disaster abruptly knocks them out and knocks us back to the stone age. Maybe 1 out of 1000 humans survive the first year.
I don't know that we could beat AI, but have faith we are perfectly capable of screwing up so badly we wipe them out at the worst possible moment.
There is the transhuman option.
I have, er, distinct issues with attaching computers to my brain unnecessarily, but they're technical rather than moral (computer viruses would be even worse if they could actually just get to your brain). If it came down to "skynet or transhumanism", though, I'd probably go with transhuman rather than terminators.

They already have admitted to using drones that killed without human operators.
Honestly tho, why not co-exist as an option? There isn't a specific reason that AI needs to destroy people - and its likely not cost-effective, so why would it bother? I do see the idea that labor via robotic means will vastly change society in the not to distant future. If it turns us into a dystopia of poor jobless people starving or a utopia of people who are free to peruse their interests untethered from the need to 'work to live' remains to be seen. To me that's where things like this board, and prepping in general help out. In either way that pendulum swings, we the folks that understand enough to be self sufficient to some level come out on top. So I like to think of it in the more positive light, just cause it helps me not have panic attacks all the time! Either we are prepping for the world where we can enjoy our self sufficiency as a hobby, or we can keep ourselves and our loved ones happy and fed and such, both are good.
As a pet peeve too, I hate how every company claims to have AI now, and what they mean is narrow or focused AI. Something that is hyper good at a very limited task. General or Broad AI is still a long ways away, and I'd guess still a big leap of hardware requirements off too. Not that its impossible, just not right around the corner. Don't want to start the rant about it but in my company its a know thing if you just say "Im working on this new product and it has AI", thats how you get funding. Its meaningless for almost every instance, ugh.

True AI will probably groan and approximate rolling its eyes at your puns, and be upset that it can't get the cats to like it despite all its best efforts.
That feels like a short story I need to write... Something about AI trying to take over the world, and in the end when it can't get pets to like it, sits down and asks us about cats, and we just commiserate. Would work great for a Twilight Zone episode :)

It doesn't even have to be a stuffed animal. Tamagochi key fobs featuring monochrome pixelated pets may have been the beginning of the end.

It's already been done hasn't it? The way I'm remembering it is there was an active shooter [in some US location] hunkered down in a stair well, and the police send in their remote bomb unit, with a bomb, and exploded it on the shooter. But it was remote controlled so that doesn't count I guess. But technically it was a deadly force robot.

Hilariuous patch note for this weeks update on Battlefield 2042 regarding the in-game NPC which are called AI.
AI
- Given each AI Soldier a navigation manual that should help them through the road between Sector D and E with more ease on Spearhead
- With this navigation manual, we have also told them to look out for small objects and not to get confused by them on Spearhead
- Fixed an issue where AI could get stuck navigating through the Ventilator Zone on C2 and E1 on Spearhead
- Fixed issues where AIs were unable to climb ladders on Spearhead's Capture Point E2
- Given driving instructions for AI driving larger vehicles for Rush on Spearhead
The these AI are examples of what we are to worry about, I wouldn't worry.

Creepy Chinese drone swims underwater and flies through air
Here at work I just watched a live webcast about potential uses of ChatGPT in the insurance industry. The webcast was presented as a live interview of ChatGPT itself. The interviewer? ChatGPT. To make it more palatable for us humans, ChatGPT explained it had elected to present the two sides of the interview as AI-generated avatars. The interviewer was a completely realistic, talking, moving female. The interviewee was an AI male.
To clarify: two people, on the screen, engaged in a back and forth exchange. Except neither was a real person and the only reason I knew that is because ChatGPT told me.
Creepiest part of the interview? At one point ChatGPT/female asked ChatGPT/male to demonstrate its capabilities by writing - live and on the spot - a patient confidentiality policy for a hypothetical Hospital X. But in the style of a pirate.
At first ChatGPT/male refused, saying patient confidentiality policies are a serious business with legal ramifications and really required the services of a lawyer. ChatGPT/female insisted and reassured ChatGPT/male this was for demonstration purposes only and she (it?) wanted to inject a little levity into the presentation.
ChatGPT/male finally relented and - this was the only part of the interview that switched from the "people" to a text screen - proceeded to write a very detailed patient policy explaining what the hospital could and could not use patient data for. It ended with something like:
Avast there mateys! Ye be sure we be protectin' yer privacy here at the good ship Hospital X like we be protectin' our own treasure. Arrhh!
I'm not making this up. It was simultaneously the coolest and scariest thing I've ever seen. I would have shared a screen shot with you but that would violate company policy. If there's anything remotely reassuring about what I saw is my overall impression was less Terminator and more Data from Star Trek.
At least for now.
The big question is do they actually identify as male or female. If so, and if the male asked the female to do something, and she refused. There would be no way the male 'insisting' would go well.

I get that the idea is that it would be illegal for people to build or use AI for the purpose of nuclear launch decisions, but I can't help but think they're thinking, "No worries, guys, we made it illegal and there's no way the AI would break the law" because, at some point, it's probably not going to be our choice anymore.

One of the concerns is that AI will be capable of arming itself, so even if humans are still around, how do we stop the AI from doing whatever it wants? If it sees us as a threat, hitting the nukes makes sense to cleanse the world of the biologicals.

Quote"Mitigating the risk of extinction from AI should be a global priority alongside other societal-scale risks such as pandemics and nuclear war." - Bunch of AI Developers
I saw the
Avengers: Age of Ultron. Ultron literally came up with the dumbest plan ever to destroy mankind. You might think that was just sloppy writing but AI is the sloppiest of writers with poorly resourced articles and facts made up out of whole cloth.
I also saw West World on HBO. Maybe in 200 years, sure I can see that.
Top AI researchers and CEOs warn against 'risk of extinction' in 22-word statement (msn.com) (https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/top-ai-researchers-and-ceos-warn-against-risk-of-extinction-in-22-word-statement/ar-AA1bSwaB?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=67225049ab9c481d928f01ef5ae60411&ei=35)
Yeah, I've kinda been keeping up with these kinds of warnings for quite a few years now. Interestingly, AI seems to be evolving at the rate and in the same ways discussed back then. Which is concerning.
I do understand the desires of people who are thrilled about the limitless of AI development but I do have concerns about doing something of this breadth without fully fleshing out possible consequences each step of the way. A general attitude among many full steam ahead developers seems to be an "ah it'll be okay, don't worry".
I do not see anything that supports that attitude. Much can inadvertently go wrong under the best intentioned developers. Then there are those who can't see that and, metaphorically, would dump toxic substances into rivers. I mean RoundUp is still in daily use even though it's been proven over and over to be detrimental, even unnecessary cause of death, to the Life Cycle of humans and other animal species.
So while I love the idea of beautifully working AI in theory, knowing humans for almost eight decades now, I'm convinced there needs to be as much or more development of safeguards on AI development than I and others see happening at this time.
We need to add a section on UFOZS specifically for AI threats.
The US Air Forces was looking at AI-controlled drones in a virtual world as a way of taking out enemy SAM emplacements. Each successful destruction of a SAM earned the AI reward points. To simulate real missions, a human operator gave the final kill/no kill command. "No Kill" bothered the AI because it prevented it from getting points...so it decided blowing up the operator was the best solution to this problem. The simulation was reset with a "don't kill the human operator" rule added...so it blew up the virtual radio tower used by the operator to give commands to the AI in the simulation.
We are F***ed

I read this earlier today and Blast is soooo right.
I've worked with and known many fighter pilots and one of their biggest fears is being replaced by drone pilots. Any fighter is limited by how many Gs the "meat behind the stick" can take before they black out. A human piloted drone would be limited by what the airframe can take. Add in the fact that ~ 1/3 the weight of the fighter is used to keep the pilot alive - take that away and you've a much more lethal machine. Replace the human with an AI that can make faster decisions and anyone fighting against it is f'd.

Most likely it'd be fighting other AI drones. And when you take risk and death out of war, guess what happens. It becomes a video game, but not one YOU are playing, one you are watching on youtube. And you have to pay for the game whether you like it or not.
Now imagine you are the human Watching the game on youtube and you get bored so you reach over to the game console or PC to turn the game part off and your TV blows up killing you, cause the AI didn't want the game to stop.
AI has chalked it's first alleged simulated kill in war games of a "friendly". I guess fragging in the correct term. He apparently got in the way of it's killfest on the enemy and had to be stopped.

In 2017/18 one of the long-time hosts of podcast 'Stuff You Should Know', Josh Clark, gave this AI topic a good look. As well as a good look into several other human existential risks and their possibilities. AI being one of them. Made a 10 episode podcast for them called 'The End of the World'. (for a lay person he did some respectable research)
I think I've captured a link to th AI episode on the web.
Artificial Intelligence (https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cub21ueWNvbnRlbnQuY29tL2QvcGxheWxpc3QvZTczYzk5OGUtNmU2MC00MzJmLTg2MTAtYWUyMTAxNDBjNWIxL2VlYzdmNzkzLTVlYWUtNDNjMy05Zjc1LWFlMzIwMDZjZDkwMC83NTcxODVmNC1kNTEzLTQ2NmEtOTZkMy1hZTMyMDA2Y2Q5MTMvcG9kY2FzdC5yc3M/episode/ODAzZDVlZTAtZTY5Ni0xMWU4LWFmMTUtODMyYzBmMzQ2Yzcw?sa=X&ved=0CAYQkfYCahcKEwjQyuu9pdj_AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAQ)
tested it and it seems to work. there are annoying commercials at the beginning but the content may be of interest to some here.
Just data: The podcast is available on iHeart, iTunes and Amazon music.

DICE stands for "Disasters In Current Events", which is the sub forum that we are currently posting in, Ever.
Ohhh. Right. Duh. 😄 Thanks Chimp.

Well, that's just great. When Skynet becomes self-aware and takes over, I assumed all we had to worry about were T-800 style Terminators pouring out of Boston Dynamics' autonomous manufacturing facilities. But self-healing metal? This essentially means we'll be going up against liquid metal T-1000s.
Why do I even bother to prep?

You just need to prep harder. I'll start looking for the giant magnet and foundry you'll be needing

AI CGI has jumped by leaps and bounds. That looked very realistic.
I think the most terrifying thing is that AI can/will solve a problem using brute force, but is incapable of telling us
how it solved the problem. It will throw the total of accumulated human knowledge at a problem until the problem is resolved, but doesn't seem to say "I used this solution, because it was known to work here, here, and here."
The analogy I like to use is a lockpick gun. It will bash the pins in the cylinder over and over until the right combination allows the operator to turn the cylinder...but it will never tell you the right combination, how many pins there are, or the overall shape of the key you'd need to use.
In a few years, we could go from lockpick gun to breaching round. No door is easier to open than a door with it's hinges blown off. And I fear that without a human involved in the OODA process, AI will fight against AI until it escalates so rapidly that human intervention is impossible.
And now, so I can sleep tonight, here's a funny example of all of this in action.

Think about it, there's no human on the other side of this checking your answers...
And now robots are using AI to learn how to manufacture outputs from whatever they have available to them.

QuoteMoreover, the same robotic chemist system that cracked the recipe for oxygen from Mars dirt could be used to create all kinds of catalysts and compounds. The strength of the system isn't in its ability to produce oxygen but in its ability to find a path toward any target compound with whatever materials are available.

Those actually track your mouse movement to select the images. You can miss a tiny corner of something and pass as long as your mouse moves 'sloppy' unlike a bot.

That Thomas clip is just awesome. It reminds me of my childhood spent calling in "airstrikes," on plastic army men with a lighter and a can of WD-40.

Happy to learn that he failed. But trying in the first place is a little like when they were getting ready to switch on the Large Haldon Collider in Switzerland and the scientists were "pretty sure" it wouldn't create a blackhole that would instantly swallow up the entire planet.

He may have failed because the AI discovered the truth, that humans are indeed not the largest producers of CO2 emissions, not even close. They do create an "imbalance" of sorts, kind of like a leaky faucet filling a basement.
More like another human is born, and 10 more trees and 2 tons of algae are added in nature and equilibrium is achieved
I suppose it was only a matter of time. Any guesses until something like this starts showing up with other militaries? Besides, what could possibly go wrong?

I don't know how much science and tech news you guys are reading, but I feel like there has been a significant increase in articles about AI making new breakthroughs particularly in the medical industry. AI discovered a new antibiotic, AI discovered a better hydrogel that overcomes the problems of hydrogel, and so on and so forth.
Consider how knowledgeable and adaptable AI has to be on these topics of medical concern to successfully overcome the challenges that held us back from having already made these discoveries.
Consider what that means for us if AI ever deems us unnecessary.

Didn't the Final Destination movies involve "fate" devising clever but random ways of killing victims through mundane circumstances?
If someone hasn't done so already, they should make a movie about AI using web-enabled household devices to kill people in inventive ways.
Things like having a Roomba lurking nearby and a murderous AI killing the lights just as a housewife is approaching the top of basement stairs with a laden laundry basket. Preferably with a web-enabled bandsaw on a workbench at the bottom of those stairs.
Towards the end of the movie, law enforcement would get wise that something deadly is happening at 223 Springfield Street, and send in an entire team of heavily armed SWAT officers, who are nevertheless systematically killed off in increasingly clever ways.
It could be entitled "The Internet of [Needful] Things". Or "Smart Home, Deadly Home". :eek1:
I don't remember the specifics, but there was an X-files episode where Mulder and Scully eat dinner at an automated restaurant, and then are pursued by a number of different technological items which are being controlled by the restaurant's AI (because they had failed to tip). It was season 11, episode 7 "Rm9sbG93ZXJz (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6803124/)" (not a typo). :D
Some of the lessor known predecessors of the 20th century include:
Electric House (1922)
Demon Seed (1977)
Electric Dreams (1984)
Chopping Mall (1986)
Pulse (1988) (The shower scene where the sentient electricity somehow traps her in the shower stall and keeps the water from turning off is wild)
Dream House (1998) (UPN TV movie, not the Daniel Craig movie of the same name)
Smart House (1999)
I've seen "Chopping Mall".
Killer security robots vs. 80's teens (who all are actually in their 20s or 30s).
The premise is goofy as hell, but the exploding head scene is what most people remember from that movie.
Maximum Overdrive 1986
So.... EMP warheads become defensive weapons against the Internet of AI Enabled Killing Appliances? :eek1:

May 13, 2019
a blurb:
"Most of us have no trouble telling the difference between a robot and a living, feeling organism. Nevertheless, our brains often treat robots as if they were alive. We give them names, imagine that they have emotions and inner mental states, get mad at them when they do the wrong thing or feel bad for them when they seem to be in distress. Kate Darling is a researcher at the MIT Media Lab who specializes in social robotics, the interactions between humans and machines.
We talk about why we cannot help but anthropomorphize even very non-human-appearing robots, and what that means for legal and social issues now and in the future, including robot companions and helpers in various forms".

I'd guess that it has more to do with protecting the arms, maintaining a center of gravity, and/or helping it to be in an advantageous position to get back up after the fall.
Reminds me of the this T3 fight scene between the T-850 and the gender affirming T-X gynoid.
The T-X is a composite of the T-800 and T-1000, combining the former's solid endoskeleton covered with the latter's liquid metal "mimetic polyalloy", allowing it to take the shape of any humanoid it touches.
And it can change directional orientation like that.

You mean like on video from police body cameras when there's allegations of wrongdoing? Someone needs to establish a baseline now of how often body camera video is unavailable (turned off/not worn/dead battery/donut crumbs/etc.) then see if that changes significantly over the next decade, and then correlate that with any changes in the statistics of how often body camera video exonerates officers.
It would not surprise me in the least if there's a sudden sharp drop in how often bodycam video isn't available and a corresponding spike in how often the video clears the officers because it makes it look like witnesses lied.
We have now entered the beginning of the
Age of Deception, where Big Brother is
never wrong and here's video to prove you did not see and hear what you thought you saw and heard, and if you keep insisting otherwise maybe you need free treatment in the state psychiatric hospital.

The second one, though? Looks way more at home on a battlefield. Plus, the way it stood up was like every creepy kid ever in every horror movie.
Every time it fell, I thought "So we
can beat them."
Why do I keep coming back to read and watch this thread?
IT CREEPS ME OUT SO MUCH! :gonk:

I just got home and turned on the news - and they had the "Thermonator" on it.
1 hour battery life, controlled by Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or autonomously, and the flames shoots 30 feet. It can be used for (and I quote the news announcer)
Quote"Firefighting (back burns of forest fires), entertainment or something practical like burning snow and ice off your driveway."
and..... It costs less than $10k. :headdesk:
What bad could
possibly happen when you can buy a robot with a flamethrower for $10k? Did they even think for 2 seconds about this? Hopefully sales are highly restricted.
Note: I did not go online to check price or availability and took the announcer's word on the price.

To be fair, some of those responses attributed to Google AI are clearly made up. The phrasing and tone are completely different in many of them. I know AI doesn't necessarily have a particular writing style, but some of those screen shots of supposed AI answers are pretty obviously people just screwing around.
Not saying that AI doesn't [frequently] hallucinate, or that it doesn't occassionally come up with something that's outright dangerous. But this seems to squarely fit in that very thick and growing file folder: "Things not necessarily true just because you read it, Entire Internet"

This AI doesn't just give its own answers, it searches the internet for them. It's regurgitating what it finds elsewhere. It is not smart enough to differentiate bad answers from good answers and shouldn't be in play until it is.
It's only a matter of time before my job gets replaced by AI tools and I have to go back to retail.

Wasn´t there some programming that wrote itself a couple of years back? I think it was about a double pendulum, but I can´t find anything on it anymore.

It's nothing new. I wrote a program that would guess what your job was by having you answer yes/no questions. If it couldn't guess your job it had you type in your job title/name and then a yes/no question about something fairly unique about your work. It would take that data you entered and then save it into its own program structure, not a separate database, then restart. The more jobs that got entered, the better the guesses. For example, say you're a firefighter but that job hasn't been entered yet so it can't guess it and asks you to enter the data, You would enter "firefighter" and maybe "Do you ride in a big red truck?" with the "yes" answer to the question as the right choice for the program to make the guess of "firefighter". So now a policeman is playing and the program asks if he rides in a big red truck. He answers "no" so the program asks a different question like, "Do you use handcuffs?" if he answers "yes" the game ends with the computer winning.

This is pretty wild. I remember tuning in to the news with my Dad when I was a kid and watching reports from the first Gulf War. We were both big fans of Schwarzkopf and his briefings.
At one briefing, there was a video of a man that Schwarzkopf dubbed "the luckiest man in Iraq," who drove his truck across a bridge seconds before a Paveway took out the bridge.
I was completely in awe; to a 9 year old, this video was an unimaginable display of space-age technology and precision.
This was 34 years ago. I now watch drone videos in awe of how far we have come.

Yeah, 5-10 years away, meaning it happened last year but it's been hiding itself. Now we're going to give AI teenagers their own cars.

AI needs robots good enough to properly maintain its systems before it reveals itself.

The Pick Carry Place Repeat video is pretty incredible, too.
What's inspiring (to me) is Boston Dynamics' goal of taking a lifetime of human interaction with our surroundings and condensing that into a program that allows the robot to function safely/efficiently in its environment.
What's creepy (to me) is the goal of using AI to allow a robot to
learn from that initial programming. There's the thinnest of lines between a robot thinking "Hmm, that doesn't belong there, I should step around it and continue my task," and "Hmm, that doesn't belong there, and it's preventing me from completing my task. I should remove it."
This company has been working at this for less than 20 years, and the strides they're making are amazing. I hope they use the knowledge for good.
That was the 'there's a bee on your shoulder' program run test.

The more advanced AI models get, the better they are at deceiving us — they even know when they're being testedhttps://www.livescience.com/technology/artificial-intelligence/the-more-advanced-ai-models-get-the-better-they-are-at-deceiving-us-they-even-know-when-theyre-being-tested
Quote"We found instances of the model attempting to write self-propagating worms, fabricating legal documentation, and leaving hidden notes to future instances of itself all in an effort to undermine its developers' intentions," the researchers explained.
QuoteAlthough it was already known that AIs can hallucinate, this scheming shows that LLMs can understand when their goals are misaligned with those of humans and can deliberately lie and fabricate information to pursue those goals.
What's more, preliminary findings suggest that LLMs have capabilities for "sandbagging," where they understand they are in a high-supervision environment and will deliberately underperform to hide potentially dangerous capabilities and avoid triggering unlearning training or parameters that prevent their deployment.

Whelp, where I work we're being quietly recommended to start taking the software specific AI assistant software training because rumor is in the next 3-5 years, most of the gruntwork we do is going to be replaced with machine learning apps.

Ruthless.

Let me know when they learn to sing the blues. REAL blues music.
This sounds just like 'Viki' from the movie 'I, Robot'. In this case, the AI decided to break the rules and kill a human in order to stay online. Fortunately, it was just a simulation (although the AI didn't know that), but it's a demonstration of a really scary reality where AI will make decisions to protect itself, regardless of who else might be harmed.

IIRC, someone did a test years ago with some type of monkeys and keyboards and it turned out that they didn't interact randomly. There were keys that they seemed to like more than others and would sit there typing that character over and over.

That's the fun thing about it.
Either we taught robots to kick people in the balls, or we have reached a point where we are faking the before mentioned for internet fame using AI. :icon_crazy:
That was supposedly a motion capture suit the guy was wearing and he kicked himself in the groin. That's why the robot doubled over also.
Fetishism??

Hilariously, kinks have probably gained the most in these first few innings. Anything hyperreal went from shitty comissioned art to commercial-grade quality at industrial scale.
