    Wtf is with humanity? We have a couple weird visionaries saying decades to centuries prior “heyo maybe this could lead to that and be world ending” then a handful of rich powerful folks are like yesss thank you for this blueprint.

      Yeah, I feel like at this stage, it’s better to move to another planet where the eventual mass human suicide will be avoided. If you guys have seen The Expanse, you know what I’m talking about in regards to Earthers ruining their own planet.

      Now I know why people during the Age of Colonisation move to the New World because of freedom from the old hierarchical structures. I now see the romanticisation of pirate and cowboy cultures.

        That’s a noob future. Gotta try Stellaris as the glorious united nations of earth. Much better than the virgin UNSC, the idiotic UEG, the weak Federation and the useless Imperium.

          What I’m saying is that it’s better to move away from any kinds of authority. They’re always susceptible to corruption such as weaponising AI!

          I don’t know about you but I want to get away as far as possible from rogue AI, thanks to it being militarised by stoopid hoomans!

            Anywhere there is more than two humans, there will be authority. The only question is what shape that authority will take.

    a future where innocent people are murdered by unaccountable fully autonomous flying assassin robots is pretty inevitable now, huh?

      It always was. There are no words anyone can say to prevent it from happening. That’s the unfortunate nature of arms races: if you boycott one, you lose it. With nukes, they involve things on a scale that can be detected easily, so nuclear nonproliferation has worked, to a degree anyways. But AI stuff isn’t detectable like that.

      And I remember seeing a video of a high school kid who made an automated paintball turret around 20 years ago. We’ve had remotely controlled drones for longer than that. Autonomous drones are a thing already.

      The technology already exists for that black mirror episode with the killer dog robots. It’s just a question of whether all of that has been put together yet (and I’d be very surprised if no one has done it), and today’s are probably easier to disable.

    Why does everyone hold this company is such high regard? They didn’t fucking do anything revolutionary that wasn’t already being worked on
