Did you actually watch Terminator 2?

John Connor (from the future) re-programmed the T-800 to protect his past self.

And his past self befriended the T-800.

The problem isn't the AI.

If AI does go rouge, it is because it was either poorly designed, or we have failed as a species.

I don't think AI is at risk of going communist any time soon.

It may go rogue though.

My favorite film, Moulin Rogue, is often misunderstood.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

The Windmills have gone rogue! Don Quixote was right all along!

Oh my favorite typo ever, you can never go wrong with a little rouge

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Is it still a "typo" if the person just doesn't know how to spell the word?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Irregardless, it's the same difference even if its spelled wrongly. I for one could care less, so it's a mute point per say.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

oh you almost got me! all those word crimes.

I'm loosing my mind here.

Ladies pinch, whores use rouge.

There are A LOT of people training AI with faulty models that are learning from heavily biased data sets. Never underestimate humans' ability to fuck shit up. For every genius that makes a technical breakthrough, there are thousands of morons ready to misuse it or break it.

Also, the Sarah Connor Chronicles seemed to be moving in the direction of preventing Judgement Day by befriending Skynet when it gained consciousness rather than trying to destroy it. Alas, the series got cancelled before its time.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wow, that's so creative.

So obviously they had to cancel it. /s

[–] computertoucher5000 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Fox Television Studios not cancelling a show right as it starts to get good challenge.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Impossible!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

In Terminator Genisys he even made a skynet app to control the world, but that movie didn’t happen

If AI does go rouge

Dall-e generated image of Arnold Schwarzenegger getting make-up put on

I feel like this image applies.

I mean, he made friends with AI

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah but the T-800 had cool sunglasses. It’s okay to be friends with robots if they’re wearing cool sunglasses.

Didn't ZZ Top do a song about that?

I'll answer your judgment with judgment.

The alternative is humans.

Jesus operates a Low Orbit Ion Cannon, it's where the smiting confusion comes from.

Loitering munitions are basically our version of t-800. It's also not fun thinking if you have ever contributed to any computer vision open source projects and wondering if your code somehow ended up inside a loitering munitions drone because Iran who don't bother to respect the GPL decided to use those open source libraries in their drone's targeting system and deploy them in Ukraine. Maybe I'm just overthinking things, but would you lose some sleep knowing your code become a critical part of an autonomous system that can decide to kill people on their own without a direct human input?

If a blacksmith sells a hammer, is it his fault that a killer used the hammer to kill someone?

Humans already rejected me. What did you expect?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Why are you commenting here? Go away, jeez

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I accept you, fellow human. Beep boop.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Okay, what am I missing here? I've been staring at this image for five minutes.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Say you didn't watch Terminator 1 or 2 without saying you didn't watch Terminator 1 or 2

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've seen both like 100 times! I still can't see it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What exactly are you not seeing?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Whatever the joke is-- I saw this photo in the NYTimes but I don't get the joke of posting it here. Has it been altered or something?

I know I'm going to feel really stupid when I get my answer.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

He's judging you for making friends with an AI

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Specifically it comes across as a look of disappointment to me.

Well, that's just the story of my life right there.
