Silicon Valley companies yet again deciding if they should involve themselves in affairs they have no business being a part of. Where the fuck is Congress?? Oh right, eating out of these fuckers’ platinum assholes.

There’s obviously no way this could ever go wrong, Silicon Valley companies always make decisions based on what’s ethically and morally best for everyone, so I’m sure they’ll make the right call.

Tech bros: “But what if AI could have a little murder rampage, as a treat?”

I love the idea of a fancy autocomplete trained on Reddit and 4-chan deciding whether or not someone should be murdered or not. Sounds like a fantastic idea.

“Obviously not… but, then again… money…”

Speaking of things that are deadly, that mullet/soul patch combo in the preview is rough

At long last we’ve created killer drones from the cautionary short film “Slaughterbots”.

Of course, given how jank what we’ve decided to call “AI” is if you tried to make a real Slaughterbot it’d probably be blowing up random people or patches of the wall that it thought looked like a face.

fully autonomous

How about ‘what the fuck is wrong with you?’

Tech bros reinvent the button smh

Do not create the Torment Nexus.

It’s time to get those parts to build an EMP.

SV: No, that would be unethical.

Armies: But we’ll give you lots of money.

SV: Oh, yes then.

They want autonomous weapons and they want AGI to save us from climate change. I don’t believe AGI will happen but they’ll probably settle for faking something that fools the masses and lets them set the agenda. Then it’s flame throwing robot dogs for everyone.

If it decides tech bros and billionaires are legitimate targets, sure.

This is fucking sick

“What’s a viable business model for all these idiot robots we keep building?”

Silicon Valley has no word in this. It’s givernments who decide what kind of weapons they want for their militaries.
