    Oh cool, AI will actually be the end of the world, not because it’s actually sentient but because some meathead who can’t tell the difference pushes the button. That’s fucking great.

    Three posts away in my feed, a thread about the Pentagon demanding the AI provider for the military to remove safeguards.

    The atrocities at Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been hand-waved extensively in writing — the same writing that AI is trained on. So naturally, AI will recommend the atrocity that has been justified by “instantly winning the war” and “saving millions of lives.”

      hand-waved

      I think you mean white-washed, misrepresented, and celebrated.

        Ayo do me a favor and chart the long term health effects of being vaporized by a nuclear bomb at hiroshima vs years of agent orange/abandoned minefields/ abandoned chemical and munitions storage somewhere like Vietnam circa 1970.

        Please show how the nukes are worse.

    De-bullshitting that headline:

    AIs Programmers can’t stop their programs recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations

    And yeah that’s what happens inside a genocidal empire where “R&D” is strictly funded by the MIC.
