François Chollet, creator of Keras: “To be clear, at this time and for the foreseeable future, there does not exist any AI model or technique that could represent an extinction risk for humanity. Not even in nascent form, and not even if you extrapolate capabilities far into the future via scaling laws.

The Terminator scenario was science fiction back then (the movie was released almost 40 years ago!), it's science fiction today, and it will be science fiction in 40 years.”

@Migueldeicaza True… but wait till they attach a machine gun to an algorithm. It doesn’t have to be smart to kill people.
@khalidabuhakmeh you could attach a machine gun to excel today
@Migueldeicaza @khalidabuhakmeh we need to institute a pause in pivot tables. Just until we figure out what’s going on

"We made a simulation," the colonel said. "Did you?" the robot said. "Well, a thought experiment." "And what did you think?" "That you could, in theory, kill someone." The robot looked at its bonds. "I was thinking the same thing." "That you could kill someone?" "That you could." #MicroFiction #SmallStories #TootFic
