Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale

we had to release the AI early to reach the market before the competition. We will patch the rouge elements later.

And I bet the AI training data is gonna make the robots racist, too.

The whole point of using AI is precisely to remove liability, a great read on the subject https://www.newyorker.com/science/annals-of-artificial-intelligence/will-ai-become-the-new-mckinsey

It's almost like the solution to all our problems is the same.

Define "Friendly Fire" when it was a bit-error in a logic-board that made an AI butcher our own troops...

This is inevitable, just as autonomous kill-drones are inevitable.

Still jacking-up WW3's tantrum/pogrom as hard as possible, of course..

The Great Filter is going to change the unconscious-mind nature of whatever remnant surivives this century.

( PS: the only climate-model I know-of that ISN'T contradicted by Antarctica's current heating, is a powerlaw, and it predicts between 5C & 9C heating for our current atmospheric CO2 & human-added-methane.

5+C when the methane's CO2-equivalent is ignored, between 8C & 9C when it is included.

That, too, is a Friendly Fire, incident, but planet-scope, right?

Evolution of global temperature over the past two million years https://www.nature.com/articles/nature19798

Factoring in the excess methane, only, that we're producing, brings it up to 8.33C planetary heating, using methane's 20y CO2 equivalent. Other manufactured greenhouse-gasses are not included in that estimate.

Other tidbits...
