    I don’t understand this weird game of AI companies saying their product will do the worst thing while asking people to give more money to them. But hey, apparently it works 🤷

      1.They are trying to get regulations passed to cut the competition.

      Only they will have the resources to make sure their AI is secure.

      Can’t let anyone else run any AI.

      1. They want to pretend the AI has its own motivations and so it’s not on them when it’s used to blackmail or hack people/organizations.

        Not remotely the same lol. Human beings have been fighting each other since there were more than two people. That is never going to stop, which makes weapons profitable.

        When a company is telling you their product might go rogue and kill all humanity, that kinda puts an upper bound on being profitable

          Even worst, not ending humanity but getting sued for damages caused while almost wiping it.

        Sure, but those companies are selling war that is profitable. AI companies are selling the end of the world.

          Like a collection of nuclear warheads that can end the world, but if it’s your collection of nukes you can threaten others with it.

      They’d probably get more funding if they made up lies about how AI had gone rogue and is super horny and they need help researching why. It’s 2026. We are all prepared for the end. Give us something weird to look forward to.

      Maybe that’s what they want. Someone to save them from having to fulfill their promises while also allowing them to collect insurance on a increasingly unsound investment since datacenters now have a multi year waiting list in some places before they are allowed to be plugged into the grid.

    Back in the day, when somebody used to intimidate you with death (of you and humanity), we called him a blackmailer. Now thanks to capitalism, the role evolved into AI-company Representative!

    Also I thought it was sentient for 3 years already.

    Lol these guys are such bad liars. Because look, if his AI could do that, he would purchase catastrophic insurance for his own company. Right?

    It won’t be sentient, it can only kill humanity if someone is dumb enough to plug it into a nuclear weapon system.

      That system is now the Internet.

      And we are obviously dumb enough to A) plug it in and B) discover it has already plugged itself in despite our best efforts to contain it
