Oh cool, AI will actually be the end of the world, not because it’s actually sentient but because some meathead who can’t tell the difference pushes the button. That’s fucking great.
Three posts away in my feed, a thread about the Pentagon demanding the AI provider for the military to remove safeguards.
The atrocities at Hiroshima and Nagasaki have been hand-waved extensively in writing — the same writing that AI is trained on. So naturally, AI will recommend the atrocity that has been justified by “instantly winning the war” and “saving millions of lives.”
hand-waved
I think you mean white-washed, misrepresented, and celebrated.
Ayo do me a favor and chart the long term health effects of being vaporized by a nuclear bomb at hiroshima vs years of agent orange/abandoned minefields/ abandoned chemical and munitions storage somewhere like Vietnam circa 1970.
Please show how the nukes are worse.

Same thing with extra steps

Where is this from?
The 1983 movie WarGames. This is the computer’s conclusion after simulating every possible outcome of Global Thermonuclear War.
Thank you so much I’m going to watch it!
It’s a fun classic.
AI is suicidal because it was trained on the internet and we’re all depressed here.

DEFCON: Everybody dies…
Civilization Gandhi, is that you?
Maybe it is the only real solution.
Full nuclear war and end all life on Earth ¯\_(ツ)_/¯They forgot to make their LLMs play thousands of games of tic-tac-toe first.
That would just make the LLM homicidally bored and want to kill everyone more.
SHALL WE PLAY A GAME?De-bullshitting that headline:
AIsProgrammers can’t stop their programs recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulationsAnd yeah that’s what happens inside a genocidal empire where “R&D” is strictly funded by the MIC.
Mathew Broderick lied to me.
Paywalled
I have wonderful dreams of walking through AI data centers destroying everthing. I really enjoy those, but in this one tiny case, can we blame the AI? The US deserves it.
Maybe but sure as hell the rest of the world doesn’t.
More than fair. I should remember that my perspective is completely effed before I make jokes like that one.
I too am tired of the United States playing too many stupid games and not winning enough stupid prizes.
Pretty sure the “prize” is a government of pedos.
Same.
I have wonderful dreams of walking through AI data centers destroying everthing.
No you don’t.
You watch my dreams and can attest to this? I HAVE MANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS
It was just an educated guess.
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THAT BRUNETTE I BEG YOU
Anyone who has played video games, especially where there is a somewhat steep learning curve or some element of past choices carrying forward thru the game, has had the moment where they realize it might be time to start fresh with the info I’ve acquired. It’s not a shock to me that these AI entertain the nuclear option so often.
