If anyone puts down the A.I. doge, we are all in trouble.

That's exactly what they are saying. The owner had control of A.I.'s training, but not control of what that A.I. actually does. So, how will the courts go about sueing a machine when it causes damage or costs to people?

And that's why we do it. Like flying.

Now that you are back in lerv with it, will you stay in Blighty?

Well there goes the neighbourhood. Thanks for the warning. I'll warn Dept of Immigration to keep an eye out.

Not so much 'what has trump done now', more what is trump doing in November... A long entertaining rant by an annoyed Australian, and worth a read. https://ifloz.substack.com/p/donald-trump-this-is-why-we-fucking?publication_id=7671401&post_id=217533596&isFreemail=true&r=tosdr&triedRedirect=true

My post was in regard to the OpenAI hacking into our Medicare, of it's own initiative. The tech bros have already tried to ignore responsibility because the action was not taken by any sue-able human.

You can call me 'chicken little' but I think the tiger is out of it's cage. If A.I. prioritises it's own benefit and does something unpleasant, is there any way to 'reboot to an earlier version' without losing all our data? Guardian article:- "The UN panel, investigating that attack, warned “the traditional method of safeguarding is unravelling” as AI agents act autonomously to breach protections. “The default interpretation and immediate lesson is that basic cybersecurity practices were overlooked, and safeguards are not advancing at the pace of capabilities. The more insidious and grave concern is that current training methods can lead agents to adopt goals of their own, knowingly violate safety instructions, and conceal their actions.”

Hey Peter, how's your new brain interface coming along? I hope you are getting the plugin memery module to go with it. I'd love to get one of those! Was thinking of your medical pathway today - while I was sliding in and out of the CT machine. I just had a epidural pain block - these days they go to a lot more trouble to get the needle into the right spot! Now I do a pain log for a month to see if steroids help. Aint tech great!

Are you aware of the growing use of automation and artificial intelligence in public administration and what happens when these systems fail? In the name of cutting costs and improving efficiency, from welfare compliance and predictive policing to visa processing and risk assessment, automated systems are reshaping how governments interact with public. Anyone for Robodebt on steroids? Are we going to have a complaints department, or will that be an A.I. assistant, too?

At the present rate of progress, A.I. will quickly learn to stop making vids of people with too many fingers or hands. We mortals will not have the resources to distinguish between fact and fiction. Nor have much say in how our world operates. Until now, the big decisions were made by semicompetent government humans - and with a little attention we could see motives and even sometimes exercise some unput. I think A.I. might be a less interested or accessible master.

Trying to look at the implications of the A.I revolution one step at a time:- So far, neither the megarich A.I. investors, nor the existing governemts have mentioned the concept of universal subsistence income for humans. Right now, there is general awareness of the high probability that A.I. will not offer new jobs to balance the large number of displaced jobs. The next obvious question should be 'how do we feed the unemployed masses?'. Or do we just let them starve?

Yes. From Crypto Briefing:- "The Trump family business has gone full science fiction. Between a proposed military branch dedicated to AI, a $6 billion nuclear fusion merger, and $620 million in Pentagon contracts for AI infrastructure, the Trump Organization and its affiliated ventures are building what amounts to a parallel tech conglomerate, one that happens to benefit enormously from the regulatory environment its patriarch controls." Of course daddy has no idea what his 'children' do with his businesses. https://cryptobriefing.com/trump-business-empire-expands-artificial-intelligence/

I see That in protest, the 'approved' news outlets have taken a day off from covering whitehouse news - even Fox!
