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.

Well, it has no concept of capital, “takes” stuff without paying and makes free stuff for everyone without discrimination.

The companies making them might be capitalistic, but AI in a vacuum seems pretty communist to me.

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

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

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.

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.

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

I'll answer your judgment with judgment.

The alternative is humans.

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?

I don't think it's exactly the same. Now if the hammer has a mind of its own and can loiter in an alley and can decide to kill a passerby or not based on its own judgement. e.g. the owner told the hammer to kill passerby wearing blue shirt, and the hammer does it but has 0.1% chance of killing people wearing yellow shirt due to computer vision quirks. Does the responsibility of killing people wearing yellow shirt fell partially to the blacksmith? Did the blacksmith can sleep soundly knowing people wearing yellow shirt might not need to die if his programming is a little bit more better, even though he never sold the hammer for the purpose of killing people in the first place (it's his customer that abuse it).

Can anyone post a link to the picture? I can't see anything. I use Memmy on iOS and it sometimes does this weird thing where it's not showing anything.

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

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

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

What exactly are you not seeing?

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.
