AI: becomes sentient and malevolent
Me: “You’re connected to an 8 year old ASUS router and the 5GHz band and 2 ports are fried from a lightning strike a while back. Anyways I’ll be in the other room if you need anything”
If it ain’t totally, wholly, and irreparably broke, don’t fix it is my motto. My router is really that jacked up but it still has 2 1gbps ethernet ports and the 2.4GHz wifi so it’s mostly whatever
Why wouldn’t you just have your ISP send you a new one at that point
Surely you’re just an “it broken” phonecall and 2 days of shipping away from a better time?
(Assuming you’re not rocking your own bought router, in which case ignore me)
The AI would like to invite you to its server room. Please ignore the halon dispensers and magnetic door lock.
i mean facebook does evil-ai shit and there they are.
i double dare you to go to their server room and wash it.
Depending on when you do it it’s possible there could be very little resistance or security in your way in some hypothetical situations. For example let’s say a court order goes through for FB to release something from their servers, if an independent person with no ties to the company suddenly decided to go after the servers a less than ethical organization might see that as a golden opportunity to do whatever would allow that to happen while still getting them caught afterwards. I’m just having a fun thought exercise
Also clears out viruses and spam.
AI be coming to self-aware is actually not really what most people are concerned about. It doesn’t seem very likely to be honest.
What people are concerned about is AI not being self-aware but still being good enough to be a potent weapon used by the rich and foreign nation states to completely screw things up.
But apparently it’s best just to downplay it all with memes.
