When they tried asking musk's AI service a week ago how to handle things, it said "eliminate the billionaires".

Then a few days ago I started seeing headlines that the ceos are now saying AI is dangerous.

There's also the headlines that ICE is buying equipment from Boston Dynamics to use as AI guard dogs.

And now we see this headline.

We're living in the future of Terminator 2.

Maybe, but it sounds like the AI has reached the same conclusion we have.

What a ridiculous fucking clickbait headline

[–] FirmDistribution@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

tell AI to destroy these nuts in the next decade

Not at all, they’re literally in a cult

Look up “rationalists” or “zizians”, you can read all about it and see how fucking crazy they are (also dumb)

you read it, keep in the fact that the person who invented all of this, the leader of these movements, knows nothing about technology. He read a bunch of and got shook. He doesn’t know shit about or AI.

Yeah and I "could" fuck your mom within the next 24 hours

At this point I'm kind of hoping it does... Two Trump Terms shows that human beings really are kind of irredeemable...

It also takes the pressure off me saving for retirement (which isn't going to happen)

"experts"

Not very.

First it was climate change, then when climate change wouldn't do the trick of killing all humanity fast enough, it turned to the virus from 2020. And then when that didn't kill all of humanity, it turns to AI.

Don't let the doom porn live in your head, rent free. Because if it doesn't happen, then you will have wasted your time worrying about nothing. And if it does happen, you won't be around to care.

then when climate change wouldn’t do the trick of killing all humanity fast enough

The problem was never about it "killing humanity fast enough", but destroying the fucking planet, which is happening. We've had, what, 4 consecutive years of record high temperatures across the globe? These aren't problems that happen in the span of a week, they're slow cooking and will have a long lasting impact everywhere.

It still won't destroy the planet but it will change the environment enough to screw over a large part of the population and cause massive social upheaval.
