That #OpenAI claims redlines regarding #DomesticSurveillance and #AutonomousWeapons tells you they were hired to do exactly that. The #US sought #surveillance and #MurderBots.

No esperaba que “cinco noches en Freddy’s 2” presentara una foto del querido actor de personajes Wayne Knight asesinado por un monstruo androide probablemente poseído por el espíritu y el cenizas podrido de un irreflexivo pequeño en el avance de primera vistazo de Cinemacon 2025, ¡pero ciertamente […]

The Pentagon is moving toward letting AI weapons autonomously decide to kill humans

The use of drones capable of deciding whether to kill humans is alarming critics.

now murderbots are killing each other:

«The company said another driverless car, which had no passengers, entered the intersection on a green light when another car ran a red light at high speed. The driverless car detected the other car and braked, according to Cruise, but the two cars still collided»

I wonder what company owned that other MB...

I had some time on my hands being in the L&D, and then the postpartum rooms this week. I easily started and finished the first novella of #murderbots on a recommendation from #ouropinionsarecorrect. I had realized that most the #scifi I had digested up to this point was more the #legacy variety. I still like those, but a broader view what we all should strive for. While I do really like the #MurderBotDiaries first book and the different approach, I found it a little lacking in world building. What I mean is that I did not feel properly placed into the planet they were on. It was a lot more straight forward reading, shorter being a novella; however, I feel like I want more…. I will still pick up book number 2 to see how they continue it, but not before I finish the last #expanse book. I am more eagerly awaiting to find out what happens on my time off.
