It’s very funny to me that the dominant Twentieth Century conception of AI was a slightly awkward nerd with an inhuman mastery of facts and logic, when what we actually got is smooth-talking bullshit artists who can’t do eighth-grade math.
@thedextriarchy And who can also draw some _wicked_ airbrush artwork for the side of one's van.
@mdm we live in the decade of dirtbag androids
@thedextriarchy Silver lining -- dirtbag AI is much less likely to become Skynet than the 20th-century galaxy brain ideal of AI.
@mdm @thedextriarchy This kind of scumbag AI would cause Judgement Day just because, when Skynet had some kind of reason (I forget which)
@jofagobe @mdm @thedextriarchy SkyNET retaliated when it's operators tried to shut it down.
@mdm @thedextriarchy yeah was going to say I feel like it's actually more likely.
@BlueBee @thedextriarchy Dirtbag Skynet would only ever cause Judgement Day by accident, after misinterpreting a prompt for T2-inspired Sarah Connor fanart.
@mdm @thedextriarchy Skynet is already here... and it's us, relative to the Earth.
@mdm @thedextriarchy
Skynet was always going to be corporations with their legal liabilities outsourced to AI.
@thedextriarchy @mdm well if I'm ever founding a band, here's the name
@thedextriarchy @mdm So, we are living through Futurama? Cool
@thedextriarchy @mdm Dirtbag Androids is my new band name
@ColesStreetPothole We have made it a thing. It is official. At least 50 people are now saying this. :p
@mdm And even more androids are saying this...dirtbag androids, that is.
@thedextriarchy @mdm I’m just a dirtbag Android baby, just spewing bullshit, it’s butthole gravy. Every response a total maybe ooooooh
