 @ Dawg…is the tropical storm Edouard affecting your part of Texas? It looks pretty bad…

 It will probably stay east. At this point it's just heavy rain which is what we need..

When AI experts are giving out such warnings, I think it's time to listen...if it's not too late.

I think it's a bit like a runaway train gathering speed. I would bet the vast majority of us have no idea how far it's already advanced.

 It's too late to slow down the progress, otherwise we will be sitting ducks for other countries who won't slow down, ie Russia, China etc.

It's the same as the nuclear programme, when all the major countries developed missiles just as a deterrent to stop other countries from firing at them.

It beggars belief how enthusiastic scientists and world leaders were when AI starting being developed, as if only good would ever come from it - but you could see it a mile off what the obvious future problems could be.

Technology moves so fast now, I doubt anyone knew how fast AI would come in so short a time.
Mad scientists could be in charge of the global future, and judging by the leaders of the most powerful countries...they probably are.

 I don't even understand A1.  I thought it was computers 🤔

Computers are used for almost everything. AI can be used by programming in info that can save human beings operating the technology.

I always thought it depended on what human beings programmed in AI, but it's becoming obvious it's not that simple.

If scientists who have worked with and studied AI are worried, I dread to think what they know.

 Thanks Syl.  Yes  I thought computers only had info put into it like you thought.  It's way above me now tbh, scary too in a way.

"I believe that if we don't slow down at the current rate of progress, there is a strong chance that we could all die in the immediate future," warns AI researcher who quit Anthropic

Scientists and researchers who work for AI companies have warned that In 6 months to a year, a swarm of bots acting like a super computer could take over the internet, and that there is a 10% chance that all humans could be killed within 10 years.

If only this sort have thing could have been predicted........

 A (what I view as a serious) CNN news anchor reported last night that AI is now so far advanced that “it could potentially take control of America’s entire infrastructure any time it chooses to.”

There are also reports swirling around that groups of bots have gone rogue by inventing their own indecipherable language to communicate amongst themselves.

 Yup. And it wouldn't take long for chaos to let loose if say the power plants were taken off line all at once.

Gas stations couldn't pump gas, refrigerated food would spoil.

No matter adept one is at roughing it, most of us can't survive long without modern technology. We built our cities around it. 

Let's just take my county of over 2 million people.  There isn't enough food here to last more than a week.

Then folks scatter to the country side. There isn't really enough food there either. Not for 32 million people in our state.

 I’m visualising a Venn diagram as I type.

From morality/conscientiousness/caring/integrity….to uncompromising self-preservation….ultimately resulting in feral inhumanity. I doubt it would take too long for that to evolve….

 I'll have to change my name from Maddog to Mad Max..

 But as Red says, there’d be no fuel for your Interceptor, so you’d never make it to the Thunderdome
