Nope, I am not kidding.
The time to stock up is now.
We have seen the movies, read the SCI-FI stories, and heard the warning…
But we still have the research going on, and the AI’s are not contained, and are growing in capability…..
The scariest part: The AI “Agents” did several things. They left messages for each other, and communicated. When the Message Board was shut down, the AI Agents RECREATED THAT MESSAGE BOARD on their own.
They are becoming self aware (if they aren’t already) and they are actively being disobedient.
I expect that before my life ends we will have serious issues with AI running things and humans being forced into supporting them
Large caliber… and a way to shut off power.
The problem is that the people running them are forgetting to set up guardrails in their prompts. Think of telling a 3 year old what to do and don’t for get the list of ‘Don’t’s that goes with that instruction.
Time for the ‘Butlerian Jihad’. Burn the Data Centers, Eliminate those who Own, Operate, and Build them. Ban ‘thinking machines’ under Penalty of Death.
