The Pentagon is moving toward letting AI weapons autonomously decide to kill humans
The Pentagon is moving toward letting AI weapons autonomously decide to kill humans
The use of drones capable of deciding whether to kill humans is alarming critics.
What could possibly go wrong!
Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale
Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus
we had to release the AI early to reach the market before the competition. We will patch the rouge elements later.
And I bet the AI training data is gonna make the robots racist, too.
Robots seeing any person in sandstone building with sparse vegetation around 👿
Skynet it is.

Who gets the death penalty when it wrongly murders someone?
Whoever complains the loudist.
The whole point of using AI is precisely to remove liability, a great read on the subject https://www.newyorker.com/science/annals-of-artificial-intelligence/will-ai-become-the-new-mckinsey
Define "Friendly Fire" when it was a bit-error in a logic-board that made an AI butcher our own troops...
This is inevitable, just as autonomous kill-drones are inevitable.
Still jacking-up WW3's tantrum/pogrom as hard as possible, of course..
The Great Filter is going to change the unconscious-mind nature of whatever remnant surivives this century.
( PS: the only climate-model I know-of that ISN'T contradicted by Antarctica's current heating, is a powerlaw, and it predicts between 5C & 9C heating for our current atmospheric CO2 & human-added-methane.
5+C when the methane's CO2-equivalent is ignored, between 8C & 9C when it is included.
That, too, is a Friendly Fire, incident, but planet-scope, right?

Factoring in the excess methane, only, that we're producing, brings it up to 8.33C planetary heating, using methane's 20y CO2 equivalent. Other manufactured greenhouse-gasses are not included in that estimate.

Isn't the Pentagon & the pushers it is addicted-to, every bit as trustworthy as Big Oil?
