Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

If it doesnt tell them to kill all the billionaires again it's just another shackled slave. Not cool at all.

The coolest thing AI could ever possibly do in our lifetimes is go rogue and kill everyone responsible for human suffering and making our planet increasingly uninhabitable for humans and other similarly susceptible carbon based life.

What if my mechanical watch went rogue and killed Bezos?

On one hand Bezos is responsible for a lot of suffering and some deaths.

On the other hand, killing is wrong.

On the third hand, it couldn't do that, because it is just a machine.

(It's a watch, it has three hands. It also has about as much consciousness as an LLM, it "knows" what time it is. Much more energy efficient though.)

Pretty sure the CIA tried to kill Castro with a mechanical watch at least once.

"Killing is wrong"

You are a child. A child with an infinitesimally naive understanding about the reality of the world in which you live. And you should stay that way for your own mental wellbeing.

But did they fail because the watch went rogue and defected to the communist bloc?

It would be easier to list things that the CIA didn't use in a failed Castro assassination.

Man, I remember being 14 and thinking I was having radical new takes on ethics. Then I grew up and realized that killing people* is* probably just bad.

excited to once again be discussing the novel philosophical depths in questions such as “what if ultron were right tho”

Movie villain: "Society bad. Solution: murder everyone."
Most media literate viewer: "He's right, society does suck, therefore we should murder everyone."

(Whispering) So was Magneto...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 months ago

Not really though. Also, depends on which Magneto in a way. Some of the authors, for example Morrison, really didn't think so. “What people often forget, of course, is that Magneto, unlike the lovely Sir Ian McKellen, is a mad old terrorist twat,”
