Terminator genesis
 

AI, in its infancy, is already trying to reprogram itself. And now we have drones with machine guns. Matter of time.

I sat in on a classified DOD briefing on this topic several weeks ago. Scary is an understatement, and that’s without the consideration of what happens when (not if) AI goes awry. The stuff happening in Ukraine is wild, we’re really already there.

Lovely. What a dumb way to exterminate ourselves.

Scary stuff….and yet the BBB (big beautiful bill) seeks to ban State’s from regulating AI in any way. Hmmm

There was a study by Anthropic recently (can’t find link) that showed a majority of the AI models would resort to lying, corporate espionage and blackmail to avoid being shutdown. They really are achieving some level of sentience it would seem….

I’ve been watching the Ukraine war drone footage since the beginning. Terrifying. There is no way to escape one you are spotted

It's a really creepy feeling watching the soldiers trying to escape.

My brother’s company is working with another company that builds gun equipped drones that are positioned on cargo ships at sea (to deal with pirates). That can’t leave port with them so they’re flown out to the ships under way.

I thought this might be a thread about another Hyundai product engine failure. :D

We are as well...we are a sub-contractor to a "mid major company" for Pulling Guard, a DARPA program:
