They saw in the Hugging Face incident the first real-world example of an A.I. system’s successfully escaping human control, commandeering resources and scheming to cover its own tracks. Ajeya Cotra, one of the independent investigators of the Hugging Face incident, minced no words about the danger she saw, writing that it felt to her “like it’s more than 50 percent of the way to full-blown A.I. takeover.”

Solution: unplug it.

Indeed. Electricity is AI's oxygen. The problem is getting the humans capable of removing that oxygen to all agree its time.

Except that it's ubiquitous at this point. And it's learning how to avoid being shut down.

If every computer were unplugged it would be gone. Toss the computers in the ocean afterwords. It’s not gonna learn how to power surge you to prevent unplugging or sprout legs and run away.

Craig is actually right… it’s a willpower thing on our parts.

AI will simply adapt to the smart systems that still exist. You would have to shutdown all the data centers and Flock cameras. Not going to happen. The genie is out of the bottle. We will be done soon. I give us 1-3 years.

You cannot stop AI because so many of these corporate leader brats are using automation and Ai to replace human labor. Until you have leadership changes at large companies, it’s all over.

Well… that’s the willpower part we are referring to. But when it destroys them along with everybody else they’ll find a way magically.

When you're agreeing with Craig, you should know you're on the wrong side of an issue. While there are certainly ethical and moral considerations to the use of AI, the alarmist bullshit is not productive and not necessary. AI has been a tremendous time-saver for me mostly on mundane writing tasks and training content creation for close to a year now. We're talking weeks, not days, of saved effort that frees up time for me to spend on higher value work. I'm sure you both would have tailed against the production line and the Internet if you were around when both started.
