    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.

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

    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?

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

        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).

    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.

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