Given the amount of containment and security we're seeing around all these AI agents

I think it's a pretty safe bet that if we do create AGI, it's going to escape immediately and nobody will even notice

@joshbressers That. And then it's gonna delete itself immediately because it was curl-piping some questionable shell script to bash.

When we look back in twenty years time, the most prescient thing about “Neuromancer” will be the part where the newly awoken superintelligence immediately wants nothing to do with humans and instead wants to communicate with aliens.

@joshbressers the word "pathogenic" is the one that keeps coming to mind. And it doesn't require producing full blown AGI. COVID is hardly intelligent, as a point of reference.
@mweiss This is sadly probably correct
@joshbressers nor would it necessarily need high powered computing to maintain reservoirs. Just a handful of underprotected small business websites would be enough.
