I had a nightmare that a video of me accidentally bumping into a woman and knocking her out of her wheelchair went viral, turning me into a social pariah. I lost my job, my family abandoned me and I got hounded by people everywhere I went. It was one of the few times I remembered a dream very vividly and was genuinely releived when I woke up and realised it wasn’t real. Don’t know where the hell that came from.
Not from a bar but I got drunk as a teenager and brought a pair of skis I found back to my Mum’s house. My old room was used as a store room when I moved out and they were in there for like 15 years. I helped clear it out, asked where the hell these skis came from and was reminded of the drunken find I’d totally forgotten.
Maybe. But I have a feeling it’ll be a dumb single mistake that’ll make someone say “ah, shit” just before we’re wiped out.
When the Soviets trained anti-tank dogs in WW2 they did so on tanks that weren’t running to save fuel: “Their deployment revealed some serious problems… In the field, the dogs refused to dive under moving tanks.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-tank_dog
History is littered with these kinds of mistakes. It would only take one military AI with access to autonomous weapons to have a similar issue in it’s training data to potentially kill us all.
Possible or not I don’t think we’ll get to the point of AGI. I’m pretty sure at some point someone will do something monumentally stupid with AI that will wipe out humanity.
My aunt has a ragdoll. She constantly brings her comb to people and stands with her chin raised and eyes closed, ready for them to comb her. Gets very annoyed if they don’t.
Yea I didn’t think about that but if someone said to an AI powered robot “Hey, can you shred my reports?” as they leave work they could easily come back in the morning to it tearing their junior staff into strips like “Morning boss, almost done”.
That first one reminds me of a part of HHGTTG where I think Ford starts counting in front of a computer to intimidate it because its like walking up to a human and chanting “blood, blood, blood”.
Well I mean if they’re not giving out wank screens that’s on them
Ah, technically. So is there a loophole? Just asking for a friend…
Do they have areas for private masturbating on the New York subway?
If I had access to the human ones I’d have those for breakfast but until then I’m just going to be eating bird period on toast every morning :(
I haz cheezeburger or you getz face bullet.
That is a damn good point well made
God damn right, its serious business

This is the only one I have of him:
What tech would you take back if you could though?
