Technology@lemmy.world•Developer claims to have built an autonomous AI system that can earn money, pay for its own computing, improve its tools, and even copy itself without human approvalEnglish
2·1 month agoThe problem is that an AI built to maximize paperclips might conclude that converting the planet to paperclips is an acceptable cost of maximizing paperclip production. It might understand why humans think it’s bad to convert the planet, but disagree. It would need to be explicitly programmed to prioritize human life over paperclips.
otherwise we would just switch it off
If it were super-intelligent, it could probably trick us into leaving it turned on.
What, am I meeting the Pope or something?

politics @lemmy.world•MTG announces she’s resigning from Congress after nasty public breakup with TrumpEnglish
16·4 months ago“I have too much self respect and dignity, love my family way too much, and do not want my sweet district to have to endure a hurtful and hateful primary against me by the President we all fought for, only to fight and win my election while Republicans will likely lose the midterms,” she wrote in a statement.
She could just not run for re-election if that’s what she’s actually worried about. Resigning early doesn’t make sense.
What, no avocado toast?
So… it’s an order, then?
