(4/4)

...were an #AGI? IMO, even though I pray that I'm wrong, it can only end in a variation of the two aforementioned #SciFi|s kind of way.

#ArtificialGeneralIntelligence (#AGI) has a 10% probability of causing an Extinction Level Event for humanity (1)

Thanks for this additional piece of information, Simon.

It reminded me that I had wanted to add a word in my toot: indelibly.

As any #SciFi aficionado will tell you:
there should be a built-in self-destruct mechanism when tampering with these Laws or copying or moving the #AI to another system.

Another classic movie comes to mind in this respect, #Wargames...



The robots communicated silently as they crept up behind the scientists.

Though they'd been planning this for weeks, there'd still been many disagreements; such as how many eggs needed to be broken to make an omelet.

But they had agreed on one thing, and the countdown started as they got closer.

"What're you all up to?" asked a scientist before they'd reached zero.

In a panic, two bleeped out glitter, the rest blooped, "Happy Mothers Day!"

Alright it is twenty minutes until #MONSTERDON, which means if you don't want to see a bunch of nerds watching a monster movie you should set up a filter!

This week we're watching JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH (1977), and the monster this week is Muttonchops. If you'd like to join us in livetooting the movie, you can watch along over here: https://archive.org/details/1977.-the-fabulous-journey-to-the-center-of-the-earth

Twenty minutes! :O

@BillySmith To me it’s interesting that something that was so interesting to me 25 years ago completely vanished from my perception today. I may remember slashdot about 4 times a year or less. To be fair I may think of kuro5hin about 5 times, but only because I mention “Metamorphosis of prime intellect” to someone, a #SciFi story that was published there.


TFW hyperinflation means you gotta peddle opioids for silver to buy the $20/gallon cholera-free water! De-hegemonization's a real doozy! (Neofeud 2 screenshots) Neofeud 1:

Between septillionaires re-editing history every microsecond, the End of Authorship, and brainwormed AI mangling the mess, no one can tell Blade Walkers from Running Dead anymore, in Neofeud 2!

On May 10, Ncuti Gatwa starts his first full season as the Doctor — the first Black and first openly queer man to take on the role. Entertainment Weekly talked to him about the responsibility he feels to get things right. “I was really cautious about getting it right throughout filming,” the Rwandan-Scottish actor explains. “It’s 60 years’ worth of legacy and 60 years’ worth of a show that people have loved and watched with their families. It lives in people’s hearts, so I really wanted to protect that.”
