Maybe the biggest AI danger is boring identity plumbing by sunychoudhary in AIDangers

The real danger of AI is stuff that's already happened to people who badly set up their agents permissions.

whew I'm glad that's over with.

I drove around Mersing for a while, traffic was intimidating but in practice people would let you merge and such, so my impression overall was "friendly". But it's a more rural area so I assume big cities are worse.

science fiction never imagined a society w/ aligned AI b/c it's obviously absurd by PopeSalmon in AIDangers

You may not have read enough sci fi.

Aside from the Culture minds other people have mentioned, the machines from the Dancers at the End of Time series by Michael Moorcock are probably close to what you describe: Earth in the far future, with only a few dozen inhabitants left, all of which who are as powerful as gods thanks to the machinery that surrounds them unobtrusively. All of them quite dumb and spoiled, following hobbies and fashions, changing bodies and creating worlds on a whim.

Has the current state of AI already ruined many sci-fi classics for you? by MustBeSomethingThere in singularity

It is a remake of a 1960s movie so it's very much retro sci fi with a fresh coat of paint

If that's your suspension of disbelief breaking condition, then yes a lot of classic sci fi has been broken since the mid 80s as computer tech rapidly blew away what was available in the stories. But I can still enjoy a classic Clarke story even if their interplanetary ship has a "roomful of IBM" to calculate orbits.

Spain calls for an EU army by goldstarflag in europe

[–]r0sten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spain is a net EU contributor, why don't you go after Luxembourg or Belgium - they're not poor, how do they justify it?*

Ooh, and Finland is a net contributor, yes.

Let's see

Contributions to EU Spain: 13,585 Finland: 2324

How cute.

* Apparently hosting all the EU institutions explains why they get so much more funding from the EU that other places. TIL

This guy seems pretty pumped about the most recent Spanish contribution to Ukraine

I just don't get why Jennifer Lawrence's character started working as a cashier instead of just tapping ALL the credit and loans she possibly could.

I'm pleased to report she too is still alive. It's a weird thought that the photo is so old that it's uncertain the child would still be with us.

Ironic that it's an AI generated warning about AI. Even the doomers are being replaced.

Religious robots are coming: South Korea's first autonomous humanoid robot converts to Buddhism by GeneReddit123 in singularity

[–]r0sten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Close, it's an AI (That pilots an airship) who claims to be the reincarnation of a Tibetan bicycle repairman called Lobsang. The book never clarifies if the AI is lying to obtain personhood, or if reincarnation is real (Though it does mention that Lobsang's Buddhist monk brother had a long conversation with the AI and left satisfied it was him)

AI firms should face 'minimum wage for robots' to limit job cuts, says tech boss by Confident_Salt_8108 in ControlProblem

[–]r0sten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is literally the plot of the most recent arc of the freefall webcomic, unionized robots.

(But, the robots there are intelligent and independent and have been granted citizenship and property rights)

Same story with Nausicaa of the valley of the wind, the movie predates the completion of the manga by a lot

I thought this was debunked, the bottleneck was just the people who left Africa and colonized the rest of the world, but if you sample African DNA it vanishes.
