Artificial Intelligence (AI) in General

#127

"It threw itself down a flight of stairs" my ass. They didn't get the sensors or software right, when stairs are a known hazard. The very idea that "the robot committed suicide" is just silly. This is what I mean when I said a lot of really stupid things are going to be called AI until we actually do get artificial intelligence.

They're not even pretending this robot was an AI, but it takes intention and emotional distress to commit suicide, so they are ascribing AI characteristics to a dumb robot the sneaky way, by saying it deliberately threw itself down the stairs. No, it didn't decide to end its runtime (that's how machine intelligence ends).

Edit: I have to block the top of the stairs in my house when Rochester, my robot vacuum cleaner that Luke talked me into buying, is policing the area. I have a short piece of 2" x 4" that I place across the top of the stairs, and then I never really have to worry about whether Rochester is experiencing some suicidal ideation or sumpin'. I'm really not educated or trained in dealing with suicide, I'd be terrible at figuring out what Rochester's emotional triggers are and how to deal with them. Maybe we can send some 2 by 4s to South Korea, and they can stop worrying about robot seppuku.

The only way a Robot commits suicide is if it is told to by the instructions given by the various programs in its head.

Anyway xposting

A former FL police officer now living in Moscow is creating fake stories using AI while posing as local US newspapers. His fake story that Zelensky’s wife bought a $4 million Bugatti was spread by millions of pro-Russia US social media accounts. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c72ver6172do

Sounds like Ukraine should post pictures of Putin at the beach with his male lover.

Is a $4,000,000 car a hundred times better than a $40,000 car?

That was in Euros, and the exchange rate is currently $1US=.92EU.

The United States Justice Department just squashed nearly 1000 of those Russian AI chat bots here on @X today. Glad someone's on top of it. Elons just been retweeting them. https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice- ... r-partners

1) NAFO Fellas, there’s some things mentioned in this article that we were seeing on here for quite a long time now. I was especially interested in how these bot accounts posed as “cryptocurrency” accounts, which we all saw. And Russia Today is involved. Let’s keep going.
