Dick's short Cold War sf apocalypse story has little to surprise but is a solid story on its own; and no matter what might be said of its tropes, Dick got there first.

...what would be more obvious for this #AGI to act similarly to #PhilipKDick's #SecondVariety?
It makes perfect sense.

"๐Ÿ‘‰#AI has started lashing out when threatened by humans" ๐Ÿ‘ˆ

This was to be expected. People should read or listen to #PhilipKDick's #SecondVariety 1), in

Which is why I had proposed a ๐Ÿ‘‰#SixthLawOfRobotics:

"An #ArtificialIntelligence, even if it is biological or #Cyborg, must always have an #Autodestruct mechanism which it cannot deactivate." ๐Ÿ‘ˆ 2)

In other words, humanity must always be able to "pull the plug"...

Early post-apocalypse pulp by Dick still offers some pioneering warnings about machine learning and the human civilization's capacity for self-cannibalism.

... und des Handys war diese geradezu prophetisch.

Leider entwickeln sich die Menschheit zwar enorm in diese Richtung, jedoch ist es oder wird es keine symbiotische Beziehung.

Es geht asymmetrisch in Richtung von #MinorityReport, #TheMatrix und #SecondVariety.

Having read many sci-fi novels over the decades and seeing all to many converge on our reality,
I've always seen #TheMatrix as a not unlikely destiny for humanity.

We will soon be the less intelligent species competing for the same vital resources and are training them on human behavior without even trying to implement #Asimov's laws.๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคฆ

Old pulp classic by PKD which doubtless has been the inspiration for countless successor stories like the Terminator series!

Das mit der "weiteren Stufe menschlicher Selbstentmรผndigung" sehe ich durchaus genauso. Da AI sich noch schneller fortentwickelt als die (wohl progressive) Klimaerwรคrmung, werden viel von uns noch die Mรถglichkeit haben Distopien a la "I Robot und "#SecondVariety" zu erleben.

Im รœbrigen war ich bis vor ein paar Tagen auch anderer Meinung. Die Interviews im 1. Podcast zum Thema AGI des #TheEconomist #BABAGE Podcasts dieses Monats, lieรŸen..
