Let's talk about Artificial Intelligence

[Jerry_Atrick]

There is an article in The Age on the subject matter today: https://www.theage.com.au/technology/kids-playing-with-a-nuclear-warhead-why-we-must-heed-ai-warnings-20260910-p60w2j.html

 

I think the extinction thing is a little overkill (pardon the pun) unless robotics makes incredible strides over a short period of time. However, it won't be as Holywooders and Youtubers would suggest that roboits go rogue or swarms of drones. It will be their ability to crack the systems; of course, there would be real problems if they crack military systems and start guiding nuclear weapons, for example. 

 

But, if the world is going to end in 3.5 years for us, may as well take out a 10 year loan on that Ferrari, with a deferred payment for 5 years and live a little 😉

I think any car pre about 1984 is ok as they have no computer on board. My house is a greater threat as my vacuum cleaner and pool robot could rise up against us.

So you are hiring 100 AI agents disguised as humans? 

[Jerry_Atrick]

I wish.. AI agents aren't (outwardly) so temperamental.. and they get the issues.

What are you doing that needs 100 new hires? 

[Jerry_Atrick]

Developing and implementing all risk systems for our whole European business.
