That’s how AI is going to kill us… It will fake something and make us bomb ourselves.

It doesn’t help that the people currently in charge are fucking stupid, trigger happy, and emotionally insecure.

They don’t even matter, because here it was some expert analyst super hero at work.

Right so in the end it never was about the machines. In the end, it was man’s folly which would have been our inevitable demise.
Replying to @SkyNTP@lemmy.ml
Always was.

Are you suggesting that history shows again and again how nature points out the folly of man?
Replying to @Telorand@reddthat.com
Ain’t that the fucking truth.

I’d say Trump has the maturity of a 15 yr old but I’ve known more mature 15 yr olds.
Replying to @SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world
By his own words he developed his “personality” around the age of ten and hasn’t changed very much since then.
Replying to @Telorand@reddthat.com
in fact, that is the very reason how things are likely going to end badly.
If actually competent and sane people were in charge, it would be unthinkable that they would trust some stupid llm on anything important.
Replying to @reksas@sopuli.xyz
Competent people would have taken care of this problem. Looks like you can count the competent Americans on one hand.

The only solution is to give the firing codes to the AI. That way we don’t acccidentally use them.

What could go wrong?
Replying to @ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net
Yeah the more these AI companies are making AI seem the scary boogeyman, the more probable it is some disaster is going to happen because people put too much stock into it. Like the school bombing.
Replying to @ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net
Right it’s not that it’s a killer sentient machine, it’s that it’s a faulty statistical model that outputs incorrect stuff all the time and credulous morons believe it uncritically (or even automate a response based on that inherently inaccurate output).
Replying to @ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net
it won’t be AI’s fault, it’ll be capitalism’s. Still, that being said; I hope it happens and we all get what we deserve.

I’m with you. When we allowed trump to get elected for a second time a imply because bargain, his opponenynhad a fucking vagina, i gave up. Bought a car that is fun ton drive be and gets 10 mpg, and started actually enjoying my life while I still can.
Fuck these fucking fuckers. They cant be bothered to vote, they don’t deserve a functioning world.
