An AI question: even if it is shown that humans cannot generate true self aware human level intellect in a computer, is there still a danger that a machine can be programmed to survive and that survival programming can cause it to feel it is in danger from humans, and it then turns on us?
Or is the more realistic danger that of tyrannical governments and dangerous criminals programming the AI to harm those they direct it to?



I'm certain that it's already being implemented, and has been for awhile now. If you can conceive of it now, then others have already thought of it decades ago.

ROBOTICS

The robots are not quite there yet, they cannot yet replace the warehouse work that I do. Maybe in another 2 years. Then a decision has to be made on the investment break even.

SEF, I've written about this in three of my books. I see AI has being a serious threat. In some of my other books humans passed laws limiting the abilities of AI to become alive and limited AI abilities in other ways. Then, AI became a good helper and even companion. If safeguards are not put in place, globally, and right now, we are in for great sorrow.

Humans are basically for the most part too stupid to put any sort of safeguards in place.

It's all about the money making the right people richer, anything else is irrelevant.

Be very careful with what systems you tie AI to in the corporate world. AI is not ready for prime time.

This gent learns the hard way. He ties it to danged everything. The AI was told to FREEZE all changes. The coder, who I am just guessing is the CEO here, had to get some sleep. He wakes up to their entire database missing. The AI tries to hide the fact, then admits to making modifications after the coder left the scene. You will need access to Twitter/X to read the full thread.

Not only that, but the CEO of Replit has a problem with Israel and Jews. He's a menace.

Doh!

I don't think this is safe, and systems will be hacked and data will leak.

What about biological AI? How dangerous is it? Manipulating already existing cells, organs, and living components to create strange and scary mutants and devices.
