I expected that comment in the C# help thread.
E: oh wait, that’s where it came from. How did we end up here?!

@topspin I believe that thread was created after the posts in this thread.

Sounds like sour grapes from someone who didn't get an exclusivity deal on a company he invested in.

@DogsB he's been saying that for a bunch of years.

Meh. It will be fine as long as they stay inside of isolated computers.
Just don't make an AI drive a car, or something.

Making AIs that that can't drive is a Tesla specialty.

The idea, I understand, is that keeping an antagonistic AI inside an isolated computer (so called "AI in a box") is very hard, if not impossible.
I don't necessarily buy it wholesale, but one mechanism that's plausible to me is an AI using its primary function as a channel to also secretly do naughty things (IOW, the side effects of the AI's normal functioning would secretly serve the AI's own antagonistic goals.)
Of course, a lot of it hinges on whether you believe in "superintelligence", and, personally, I'm not sure that the concept even makes sense.

Is this another instance of "sufficiently advanced technology?" For instance, adults are able to think in ways that very young children can't even imagine. I believe there is evidence that this happens among adults, too, like...below a certain level people can't comprehend counterfactuals.
It doesn't seem outlandish that there could be someone who thinks in ways that I can't follow. You might also get interesting outcomes if someone has, say, much better working memory or similar.

With that headline, I thought it was the AI doing the warning.

It's either that or halt and wait for the user to click on a dialog box. Which hasn't been popped up so fuck you.

The real question is whether this is a fundamental inability (which is what I understand "superintelligence" to postulate) or a contingent inability (i.e. you wouldn't be able to come up with it yourself, but it is possible to explain to you how it was done.)

Eh, nothing new here. Their unfettered surveillance, "disruption", and general tendency to amass power in a single hand has been going on for awhile.

Some nitwits think in outlandish ways nobody can follow.

@PleegWat Yeah, exactly. (Use Snow Crash instead - it's the better book anyway.)

Nice example of how ChatGPT just manages to appear intelligent enough to make people believe its proposed solution was indeed a good solution.

And vice versa, amusingly enough. Just look at how often adults are astounded by the crazy-creative stories small children manage to dream up.

YouTube "content creators" sure didn't waste any time jumping on the ChatGPT bandwagon. Sometimes you can just tell but sometimes it's like it's trying to baffle you with bullshit. For example, I watched this one video about the GoBots cartoon, which I know inside out. It was jarring how it would say something sort of obscure and then immediately follow it with something ridiculously stupid. Like it knew Renegade leader CyKill used to be a Guardian, which was only ever brought up in one episode very late in the series, then said Guardian Smallfoot inspired the Autobot Smallfoot. And kept referring to Fitor as "Feetor" even as the background clips pronounced it correctly. And referred to a human ally that "already made contact with Earth." And keeps pronouncing "Intrepid" as "Intrapit." And "Cheyenne Mountain" becomes "Cayenne Mountain." If I hadn't actually met Arthur Burghardt and BJ Ward, I wouldn't believe their photos of the voice cast either. Then it goes on to say how much better TransFormers was because the title that called it brilliant and innovative was just clickbait. That's 20 minutes I'll never get back.

They actually changed that.
Apparently there are people with really sad birth defects in some of these newly-named genes. Doctors got sick of telling parents their child had defects in genes with stupid names, so they got rid of all the joke names.

Almost.
You just rephrased the answer.
I'm not inspired.
