Artificial Intelligence - Our Own Bullet to Our Head

[Doctor Steuss]

My concern isn't about what A.I. will potentially do on its own, it's what humans will do with A.I..

There was a humorous Gary Busey deep fake floating around a few weeks back ("buttered sausage..."). I fell for it hook-line-and-sinker, because it matched my pre-conceived notions of him. There were a lot of digital artifacts, but they were ignored by my noggin as video-conferencing and greenscreen artifacts.

Once randos armed with nothing more than a gaming PC start pumping out deep fakes for (geo)political purposes, and fear-mongering, we're in for some trouble.

Pretty sure you could just switch the power off and they'd all be dead.

Briefly stated, but there is a lot in what you have said.

The vital thing is to keep it that way, which should not be impossible for those of us who still use electric porridge to think with - so long as we keep thinking.

Electric porridge?

Electric porridge?

A joking reference to the soft grey stuff inside our heads, which in part works by sending electrical signals through nerve synapses - as opposed to the hard silicon chips that support Artificial Intelligence activity.

Ahh Hopefully it won't come to that. I for one do not want to be uploaded to a computer. Hopefully we haven't already 🫣

Kerry, is there any way you could convince the A.I. to play chess rather than global nuclear war?
