The genie is already long out of the bottle . . .

IMO, just shut it down already, its a failed experiment.
Much like social media is.

AI is BS:

Artificial Imitation of human thought... nothing but hype and scam to make humans feel somehow redundant.

What's the novelty factor of AI? I just fail to see anything special about it. Programming, simulation and automation done in a particularly irresponsible and dumb manner, perhaps? Compare it with the invention of computers, radio or aeroplane... It's obvious there's no great breakthrough of any kind associated with the 'AI'. It's only yet another shoddy marketing and general deception tool in the hands of the small minds who think themselves to be the 'enlightened' ones. No reason to worship it, neither out of fear nor admiration.

As I've said all along - it's just a big database - nothing special about it.

"ai" will be one of the future "bubbles" along with "crypto"

follow the money down the rabbithole/blackhole/wormhole

just one company:

Not exactly a Frankenstein... something pervasively worse.

While the news is beginning to forcast cascading financial doom for AI:

Yet the not-so-publicized development is alive and well:

And stargate-scm's 'Intergalactic Assimilation' posted text gives a plausible picture of how it would happen: in the end we will all be assimilated

Consider how systemd became a reality, followed by blacklisting Master/Slave and Whitelist/Blacklist labels, followed by user/dev forums and lists rewriting rules of conduct so we would learn the approved of and proper way to communicate with one another... these inanities became the new normal, as have many other new normals. Is there any reason to believe this gov't funded and big-tech developed biotechnology wouldn't follow the same path?

I think it's time to bring this old science-fiction movie to the attention of many more people:

Colossus: The Forbin Project
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064177/

Repeated for truth . . . this from a wise teacher:

"Perhaps we are what we eat but we definitely will become what we think."

The imagination that so entrances us is also the tool of our destruction.

Ain't skeered.

Fear is the mind-killer, and in the words of a sort of cinematic AI character: "Anger is always more useful than despair".

I have been meaning to watch this, thanks for the reminder.
I watched a short review on this on youtube and apparently it was a flop during its release due to other box office films at the time.
But im betting it would be a popular classic these days.

The answer to your title is a resounding yes.

Hello:

An article about AI refusing commands ...

Along the same lines:
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/ … ogy-rights

What is really scary is how much crap some people are capable of spewing:
“People demanding that AIs have rights ... " WTHF?

While millions of human beings all over the world are denied basic human rights?

Best,

A.

You nailed it with that observation!

Appreciate the tip.* Like the Terminator series which later followed a similar concept, corporate devs who are in it for the science and rarely consider (or understand) real world consequences are blamed. I tend to look at who mandates the devs'/scientists' efforts and arrogantly/foolishly perceive those efforts as a means to more power and control. Something like the 1967 Bond movies spoof, The President's Analyst.

* Watch/download Colossus: The Forbin Project at archive-org.

Add this one to the list . . .
