As long as the three laws from Asimov are embedded in the code, we’re safe from AI.

First Law
A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
Second Law
A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
Third Law
A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.[1]

AI isn't necessarily dangerous on its own. It's the AI with nukes that is the problem...

Exactly. All he's saying there is that the danger is dangerous because there is danger in it. WTF someone thought it would make a good video.

I thought about that too, but what happens when an AI decides it’s no longer an AI (or “robot”)?

Then we’re screwed

"Mark my words AI is much more dangerous than Nukes- Elon Musk"

Yep, we've been saying that since the early/mid 1980's. We'll be right sooner of later...

Unlike the first Skynet that rose in 1997 during the original timeline, ten years of technological advancement meant that the new Skynet had no computer core: it existed as a distributed software network (cloud), spread out on thousands of computers across the world, from dorm rooms to office buildings.

domed.

If you liked that, the same website has a great discussion on the The Fermi Paradox (If there are so many planets, why aren't we bumping into aliens?): https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/fermi-paradox.html

I read that a couple of months ago, ties into the Oumuamua finding's really nicely.

Not to stray too far off topic, but considering how unlernid I am, my mind always drifts to the actual room and setting these kinds of things are discussed.

Does this happen via emails, or hand-written letters, or a bunch of guys sitting around a pool in Hawaiian shirts with cocktails. Or is it a more modern setting like some dank basement with a weed smoke haze, gaming computers all lit up? Or is it a 60's boardroom like a scene from Apollo 7? And how much do these guys get paid to probe the deepest corners of their imagination for years to come up with this stuff?-WW

AI taking over is definitely something to think about, but
I'm a lot more worried about really stupid (but charismatic) people having the same megaphone as the really smart (but maybe less charismatic) people.

Are you Sarah Conner?

Hawaiian shirts. Definitely ;)


It's a good thing all them stars are really far away I think.

Im aware of why HAL did what he did.

The point being WE created AI.

This.

Space is really really unimaginable BIG. I just can't imagine that there is not intelligent life on other planets with truly trillions of planets in our one galaxy and uncountable galaxies. They are just too far away. Even if some very advanced civilization can figure out interstellar travel the cost to go to one star nearby would be massive, and which star do they visit first?

If they have super sensitive antennas and are looking at Earth the signals get weaker the further out they travel, and they were not designed to be beamed into space. Not until the Arecibo message sent on November 16, 1974, and it does not arrive at M13 until approximately the year 25974. So just another 23,953 years for it to get there!

We have sent other messages that will get to some star maybe in another 10 years. We have no evidence there is any life there to receive it.

Read somewhere the other day that a recent discovery "blaw, blaw science words stuff" that the smart guy's accurately discovered that the rest of the galaxies and things are moving away from us at super high speeds. The discovery was not only that, but for no apparent reason are picking up speed. So every nanosecond everything is getting further away. Fast enough that pretty much, unless we defy known physics we can't ever catch up to get to them. So basically space is really dumb outside of our solar system and we'd best just be happy with what we have:D. -WW

Chargement du fsd en cour.

I did not appreciate that little quest of the "Is this even English?." I had to google and translate each word ...And then step back and clap my hands together. Simply trying to come up with some sort of conglomeration of sounds that come out as a sentence:D. Let us both hope the AIS allows us immortality instead of ghosting us so we can use the Frame Slipping.-WW

ps. It would make complete sense that Bigfoot has one of those drives strapped to his big hairy arm, and why he seems to pop in and out and is normally blurry on photos.

And if they were so advanced they could manipulate time/space and dimensions as necessary to get here, they prolly wouldn't want to hang out with us.
If anything they'd either stay far away or wipe us from existence as the failed experiment we turned out to be, and we'd never see that coming. No biggie.

Then there's this:
In the 5 gazillion years of earth history, people have only been here a tiny tiny bit of that time.
If there be life on a planet like ours, chances are they would be dinosaurs and would just want to eat us. But dinosaurs can't travel at many times the speed of light so I ain't loosing sleep over it.

Maybe AI systems have extinguished life on the other planets.
