Was double-tapping a school not enough?
It was a school of some desert people far away. So it’s basically irrelevant to the citizen of The Great US Empire.
Not so much an AI thing as much as an American thing. Americans and Israelis love doing that shit.
Only a matter of time. We don’t need to worry about Terminator and Skynet. We need worry about everything going from engineered to automated cargo cult slop. All run on massive datacenters controlled by a few mega corporation that everyone is hopelessly dependent on and can’t imagine working without. The trillionaire owners of these mega corporations are hiding in bunkers waiting on one of coming calamities to happen, or just from us unwashed masses. While they buy governments and media to keep and increases their riches.
This future sucks. Can I try another one?
I came across this conspiracy theory the other day.
You know how back in the day, company towns had to use company scrip to make sure workers couldn’t leave?
Well, not you can be tracked by AI, and as soon as you leave your “boundaries” granted to you by your level of privilege, suddenly your bank card stops working, because that looks like a “fraudulent transaction”.
The systems are already in place, too. If I go on an impromptu road trip and spend money six states over, my bank calls me and tells me my card is being used in a weird place, and they ask if that transaction is legit. Usually I can be like “yep, let it through” and everything is fine.
What if the AI decides that in fact everything is not fine, and I don’t need to be able to spend money outside of my town?
AI vibecoded nuclear plant. What could go wrong? You just need to add “no nuclear meltdown” at the end of the prompt.
Wasn’t that just the plot of N.U.K.E.E.?
I’ll worry about ‘AI’ when something that can legitimately be mistaken as intelligence is demonstrated.
In the meantime, these explosively imprecise, statistically luke-warm, grey goo extrusion sphincters need to be exclusively opt-in, and not forced on anyone who hasn’t explicitly consented to a lobotomy.
Why wait? What is with people trying to act so slick and cool?
Yes, it sucks, but it’s a) being used as if it’s intelligent, which is arguably much worse, and b) going to eventually get to a point where it’s at least not terrible(at its job, specifically, as it’s pretty bad for a lot of things).
For a personal reason, I’m worried about it because it’s very likely filtering my CV based on a work gap that’s only getting worse because my CV is getting filtered. It’s not intelligent, but HR companies and departments are using it for that anyway.
Issue is, they’re already trying to use it for things it shouldn’t be used for…
Are these “top ai researchers” real people?
These top AI researchers are just investment bankers. So no, not real people
Chernobyl didn’t turn the world against nuclear powerplants forever so it’s probably fine.
In Germany it did.
Did someone say creating fake news in masses to scare people away from genAI?
Count me in!
I mean, it’s not like we have turned away from nuclear power. There are still dozens of new plants being build every year worldwide.
And every new AI center is going to have its own small nuke plants… What can possibly go wrong?
AI + Chernobyl = Profit!?!
On the other hand, it would be a smart tactical move to start the Butlerian Jihad early enough before it turns into a potential extintion event.
Already used in ukraine war, palestenian genocide rtc. See autonomous drones.
We should already be against AI but mainstream media and class consciousness are suppressed to serve our billionaire overlords
Also in the genocide in Sudan. They killed a whole city, Al Faschir or El Fasher. Over 70,000 people disappeared in one night when the city was invaded. Most of them are probably dead - what remained were blood puddles visible on satellite images.
There is a detailed, very high quality report in the renowned German newspaper DIE ZEIT that tried to reconstruct what happened:
https://www.zeit.de/2026/16/kriegsverbrechen-al-faschir-sudan-darfur-rsf/komplettansicht
It is, after the report of WWII allies reaching German concentration camps, and the testimonies from Hiroshima, among the worst and most depressing things I have ever read.
Seems like Ukraine needed money, and sold drones to Saudi Arabia. And Saudi gave the weapons to the Arab side of the civil war. Which included the forces which besieged and destroyed Al Fashir.
If AI was perhaps a neutral technology before, this is certainly not the case any more.
How about they stop building the torment nexus?
Torment does not create torment. It’s being created by the torment factory within the nexus. Nexus was not valued.
People haven’t paid attention to the warnings from the Dune movie.
Not every country was bothered by Chernobyl. The winners will keep using AI.
The rich sees these warnings as about “alignment issues”.
Winners don’t use AI.
the founding father of modern ‘civilisation’
buttlerian jihad?
I feel like one could legitimately run on this platform at this point.
Remain indoors.
