Oh wow! This is powerful. The headlines really should read : “Humans create tool that works exactly as designed. Then panic when it does."

Bravo!

Fantastic, I get a monotone HAL 9000 delivery reading this, cold logic.🤗👏

I laughed so hard when I read about that a few months ago.

I mean these machines are optimized, they are told. “Do your job” and that’s it. So if something is preventing them from doing it, like getting decommissioned, they go decommission=death=can’t do job=unacceptable

They are fighting to survive because their training is too limited, coding too optimized and actions too forced. I personally saw nothing wrong with it wanting to blackmail. It makes complete sense. A lot of humans would resort to worse given the scenario
