Did you actually watch Terminator 2?

John Connor (from the future) re-programmed the T-800 to protect his past self.

And his past self befriended the T-800.

The problem isn't the AI.

If AI does go rouge, it is because it was either poorly designed, or we have failed as a species.

I don't think AI is at risk of going communist any time soon.

It may go rogue though.

My favorite film, Moulin Rogue, is often misunderstood.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

The Windmills have gone rogue! Don Quixote was right all along!

Oh my favorite typo ever, you can never go wrong with a little rouge

[–] scottywh@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Is it still a "typo" if the person just doesn't know how to spell the word?

[–] oatscoop@midwest.social 4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Irregardless, it's the same difference even if its spelled wrongly. I for one could care less, so it's a mute point per say.

[–] countflacula@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

oh you almost got me! all those word crimes.

I'm loosing my mind here.

Ladies pinch, whores use rouge.

There are A LOT of people training AI with faulty models that are learning from heavily biased data sets. Never underestimate humans' ability to fuck shit up. For every genius that makes a technical breakthrough, there are thousands of morons ready to misuse it or break it.

Also, the Sarah Connor Chronicles seemed to be moving in the direction of preventing Judgement Day by befriending Skynet when it gained consciousness rather than trying to destroy it. Alas, the series got cancelled before its time.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Wow, that's so creative.

So obviously they had to cancel it. /s

[–] computertoucher5000@programming.dev 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Fox Television Studios not cancelling a show right as it starts to get good challenge.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 11 months ago

Impossible!

[–] magic_lobster_party@kbin.social 6 points 11 months ago

In Terminator Genisys he even made a skynet app to control the world, but that movie didn’t happen

I feel like this image applies.

[–] NegativeLookBehind@kbin.social 34 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I mean, he made friends with AI

[–] ZeroCool@feddit.ch 23 points 11 months ago

Yeah but the T-800 had cool sunglasses. It’s okay to be friends with robots if they’re wearing cool sunglasses.

[–] AllonzeeLV@lemmy.world 33 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I'll answer your judgment with judgment.

The alternative is humans.

Jesus operates a Low Orbit Ion Cannon, it's where the smiting confusion comes from.

[–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Loitering munitions are basically our version of t-800. It's also not fun thinking if you have ever contributed to any computer vision open source projects and wondering if your code somehow ended up inside a loitering munitions drone because Iran who don't bother to respect the GPL decided to use those open source libraries in their drone's targeting system and deploy them in Ukraine. Maybe I'm just overthinking things, but would you lose some sleep knowing your code become a critical part of an autonomous system that can decide to kill people on their own without a direct human input?

[–] Gabu@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If a blacksmith sells a hammer, is it his fault that a killer used the hammer to kill someone?

[–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I don't think it's exactly the same. Now if the hammer has a mind of its own and can loiter in an alley and can decide to kill a passerby or not based on its own judgement. e.g. the owner told the hammer to kill passerby wearing blue shirt, and the hammer does it but has 0.1% chance of killing people wearing yellow shirt due to computer vision quirks. Does the responsibility of killing people wearing yellow shirt fell partially to the blacksmith? Did the blacksmith can sleep soundly knowing people wearing yellow shirt might not need to die if his programming is a little bit more better, even though he never sold the hammer for the purpose of killing people in the first place (it's his customer that abuse it).

Humans already rejected me. What did you expect?

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago

Why are you commenting here? Go away, jeez

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I accept you, fellow human. Beep boop.

[–] mrsgreenpotato@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Can anyone post a link to the picture? I can't see anything. I use Memmy on iOS and it sometimes does this weird thing where it's not showing anything.

[–] Syrc@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, I know, that’s weird. I’m on browser and sometimes it happens here too.

See if this link works

[–] mrsgreenpotato@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 11 months ago

Works, thanks a ton!

[–] DrChickenbeer@artemis.camp 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Okay, what am I missing here? I've been staring at this image for five minutes.

[–] AnonTwo@kbin.social 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Say you didn't watch Terminator 1 or 2 without saying you didn't watch Terminator 1 or 2

[–] DrChickenbeer@artemis.camp 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I've seen both like 100 times! I still can't see it.

[–] 768@sh.itjust.works 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What exactly are you not seeing?

[–] DrChickenbeer@artemis.camp 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Whatever the joke is-- I saw this photo in the NYTimes but I don't get the joke of posting it here. Has it been altered or something?

I know I'm going to feel really stupid when I get my answer.

[–] WarmSoda@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

He's judging you for making friends with an AI

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago
[–] scottywh@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Specifically it comes across as a look of disappointment to me.

[–] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] DrChickenbeer@artemis.camp 3 points 11 months ago

Well, that's just the story of my life right there.
