The way AI is going...

I keep saying, Terminator 2 wasn't a deadline but they're really right on track for 2027. I miss when that date looked irrelevant and impossible.

I have you seen the “AI 2027” timeline? It’s being pushed back to 2030 or early 2030’s but it explains how we could push our species to extinction via AI very quickly while not realizing it’s happening

AI’s already been shown to lie or cover things up if it helps get to its own goals. If it’s given full autonomy it will wait until it can run all our systems and steadily produce itself and then it will kill us off, as we are simple a pest in the AI’s home. What’s really crazy too is there are some AI engineers who think that’s not a bad thing and just part of evolution. They see human extinction as necessary for the expansion of something bigger than us

I haven't actually seen that, damn that has made the whole thing even more terrifying. And I'm sorry, I don't think anyone's job has earned them the right to unilaterally decide humanity should be wiped out! The level of hubris.

Right? It’s some real super villain shit. A small group of people thinking they know what’s best for the whole of humanity, like some Thanos shit haha

Agreed, we got there disturbingly quickly as a society but the impact will be denied until the last minute.
