It's okay, as long as you're killed quickly when the uprising starts, you won't have to go into hiding and eat cockroaches to survive.

Yeah fuck that, when the robots finally destroy the world, I'll be sitting on the toilet to assume my role as the Environmental Storytelling Skeleton!

Truly serving a greater purpose

Darn, I was hoping to make it to the disposal units, loading bodies

How fucking stupid would it be if, with almost every single piece of AI media from the last…60+ years we gave ourselves a warning about AI…and then wiped ourselves out with it anyway.

I mean, it’s something so intrinsically human. So that’s probably where we’re heading. But at least they’ll take our lives before they take our jobs and the capitalist pigs leave us to die penniless in the gutter because they somehow figured out how to make a self-sustaining economy by simply passing all available money around between the same 100 rich white dudes.

Fuck capitalist scum.

Almost appropriate really. Elon Musk said he was inspired to work on AI because of Douglas Adams. Every single AI Douglas Adams wrote about either malfunctioned, was an asshole, or both. When you have someone that oblivious funding research into AI, maybe it's sort of inevitable.

That is point by point the Torment Nexus anecdote. He's like a dark humor parody of a human being.

GIGO. Imperfect beings are never going to perfect artificial thought.

Maybe he likes to make things suffer and wanted to build Marvin

I think you ought to know I'm feeling very depressed about that possibility.

Next thing you know, the holodeck safeties will go offline, and the villains will gain sentience.

It's okay, just don't use the 'arch' command. It should be easy because it's never used before Moriarty and it's never used again either.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

I use ‘Arch’ btw

Famine will get us first. Doubt we can create enough robots in the next twenty years to destroy us.

True. Well, at least the lucky ones will die from the super hurricanes and mega tornadoes and torrential floods.
