    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.

    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.

      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.
