The funny thing about these kinds of assholes is they don't realize that they're at risk.
Because if I had the technical chops, I'd totally try to hack these kinds of devices to hunt down techbrodudes and slaughter them.

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.
Don't be evil... Oh wait...
We could make more... Money...
Tech bros: "But what if AI could have a little murder rampage, as a treat?"
Tech CEOs are privileged people who will do what ever and say what ever to make lots of money.
SV: No, that would be unethical.
Armies: But we'll give you lots of money.
SV: Oh, yes then.
Don’t be evil.
Billions of dollars later.
Ok, do be evil.
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.
Hmm, who would be on the list?
“Obviously not… but, then again… money…”
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.
Speaking of things that are deadly, that mullet/soul patch combo in the preview is rough
Yea were seriously considering what some dude that looks like that thinks about weapons?
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.
Someone make a project called OpenEMP quickly so we save r&d time
Sure they are going to allow it for the reason that they will gain more money
This is fucking sick
If it decides tech bros and billionaires are legitimate targets, sure.
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.
"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.
Silicon Valley has lobbying money
Stupid looking goon should be the one to go first
It already is
Implement Asimov's 3(4) Laws of Robotics.
Hack one of that automated turrets and change the promp sounds pretty easy.
Eventually? Maybe, but frankly Asimov had those rules for a reason. Now? It can't even decide what it said a second ago.
The current discussions of LLM and algorithmic learning being referred to as "Artificial Intelligence", is super duper frustrating to all us science fiction fans. There is no AI in the Asmiov sense, no one is even trying to make that form of AI.
Having said all that, and this is the coldest take ever. Robots shouldn't kill people.
At best, LLMs are a small slice of a pie that would constitute an artificial intelligence.
I suppose you could look at this 2 ways: either, when we talk about the state of AI, we could say that, yes, we have it, but only this one small part that kinda works ok; or (the more traditional route) would be to say that AI doesn’t exist until all of the constituent technologies have been both developed and assembled.
Obviously, we know which one the marketing departments of many companies choose.
Doesn’t matter because AI will be weaponized against the masses no matter what your opinion of it is. It’s the billionaires with the money and influence to make sure it becomes a weapon and they will 100% be beneficiaries of said weapons so OF FUCKING COURSE they will use it.
Ok so just imagine this guy doing a TED presentation ala Weyland in the first Alien reboot movie, and just splice that as the intro to the first Terminator movie.
The answer is no. But of course some idiot is going to do it and make the thing able to self replicate and fuel from "biomass".
ha ha ha, no way a farrow plague upon your house
I remember that show, maybe I should pick it back up
