Queer anarchist, avid sci-fi and fantasy fan, and enjoyer of locally run generative AI. Always looking forward to learning new things. Death to the United States, and death to Israel! The only good zionist is a dead zionist.

  • what will it start doing on the planet

    nothing. there isn’t anything out there even remotely approaching AGI. AI is being used by the military, yes, but it’s not like AI is piloting warplanes currently.

    once there is some weapons platform directly controlled by AI, it’s definitely possible it could attack the wrong target, but that situation happens frequently enough with humans as well. and there’s absolutely no chance anytime soon of AI pulling a skynet and killing everyone in a nuclear war. last time I heard, the US nuclear arsenal still uses floppy disks to run their software, and it requires two people to launch a nuke. they’re trying to modernize the arsenal, but considering it’s the government you can expect it to be quite some years before they’ve caught up to current tech. AI couldn’t launch ICBMs because anything running AI is probably too modern to even talk to the computers launching nukes. most of that shit is still running on COBOL.
