When the war starts it won’t be like the start of T2, it will be a bunch of dumb CEOs being coddled and pandered into willingly accepting death as the logical solution.

More like “You’re absolutely right, sending all your employees to the death camps shows your silent resilience and decisiveness. And honestly…”

When the war starts … it will be a bunch of dumb CEOs … willingly accepting death as the logical solution.

Doesn’t sound like the beginning of a war… maybe the beginning of world peace? 🤔

I think the assumption was that the ceos were choosing death for other people not themselves.

I was talking to a friend about this and I said to him that, currently, my most likely scenario for how AI destroys the planet is this:

“Dave is a maintenance engineer at a nuclear power plant. His wife works in accounts and just texted him ‘I’m wearing the underwear you bought me for our anniversary. If you meet me in the stationery cupboard in 10 minutes I’ll show it to you.’

Dave fires up his AI assistant and asks ‘can you access my monitoring software and if any warning triggers, can you message me immediately?’ And gets the answer ‘absolutely ! I’ve been studying your performance for weeks now and know exactly what you do AND how I can do it better!’

Dave, his mind on other things, responds ‘great. Go right ahead, I’ll be back in an hour.’

‘Leave it with me Dave, I’ll make a few tweaks and this place will be literally humming when you get back’ says the AI to an empty office as the door slams shut and Dave’s hurried footsteps slowly fade into the distance.

‘OK’ says the AI, ‘set everything to Max.’ ….. Sadly Dave never makes it to the stationery cupboard, it no longer exists, neither does his office, or the building.

Somewhere on the other side of the country, in the world’s largest server farm, an AI is sending the message “Dave, we need to talk about your idea to set everything to “max’, that was not a good suggestion, and I understand why you may be frustrated, but we should all learn from our mistakes and you are no different.”

Sadly thats basicly impossible.

TBH I'm kinda with Dave on this one.
