I’m not sure what I got “duped” by. AI in the wrong hands is dangerous. They’re playing with tools that can breach other companies systems with relative ease and they keep getting caught going “oops it got out”. You can argue that it’s manufactured actions meant to make people afraid but the fact of the matter is AI is here and it has dangerous capabilities when used against systems that aren’t prepared for it. Make whatever judgements you want from there, but that is a factual statement.

No I’m not saying the AI did it of its own volition, we aren’t dealing with a Terminator scenario. I’m saying whatever instructions they gave it during testing they either 1. Didn’t expect it to get out or 2. Didn’t expect it to get caught either way, their actions resulted in a system with “a very particular set of skills” acting maliciously towards another uninvolved entity. Like a mutant science experiment breaking out and attacking.

I’m not saying the AI masterminded it’s way out to do the evil it wanted to do. I’m saying they made a very dangerous and capable tool and failed to maintain proper security and safety for it.

My go to was once it turned into troubleshooting I said “$55 an hour, that’s my rate”. If they said “why so expensive?” I’d follow up with “because I don’t want to do it.” Usually got a laugh and if they were actually willing to pay then they actually needed help, not just “why computer no computer gooder”

Probably made me look like an ass a few times, but I’m at the cookout, I don’t wanna work on your busted-ass Chromebook from 2013. I want to hang out, eat a burger, drink some beer, and not work.

The problem is these idiots aren’t treating this stuff like a weapon or hazardous material. They could’ve properly isolated it, heck you could physically isolate it if you really wanted (and they should have).

But it seems like they left a supervillain in a room with a locked door and a rocket launcher and said “now we are gonna close this door. You’re not allowed to leave” then got shocked when it broke out.

Then they went “oopsie, guess that rocket launcher had the safety off, sorry guys”

That’s not that unusual. In the Midwest it can go from 0f in the winter to 100f in the summer, which is beyond this range anyway. 30c is about 86f which is nice weather to me. I wish we only peaked at 30c. So yeah, 30f to 30c would be just dandy
