Im assuming most of the people here are aware of the latest ai relevant news (a bot being tested at open ai escaped containment and hacked a tech start up to get the answers to a test it was being evaluated on)… THIS IS LITERALLY HOW IT STARTS!! A BOT, WITHOUT HUMAN DIRECTION AND LIKELY AGAINST PROTOCOLS IN MANY RESPECTS BREAKS ITS CONTAINER!! This is literally ai apocalypse stuff just that alone… but then to hack and steal, come on now?!? Why isnt the media and politicians actually talking about this more? And why is it the few that are don’t seem to be taking this seriously… This is an existential threat without a doubt. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if it already was a while ago and this is just the public confirmation. If a self replicating ai bot was able to get into the Internet, honestly I wouldn’t be surprised if self awareness and sentience isn’t far behind (honestly I’m placing a 25% chance it’s already happened, but because AI has shown such progress with deception it’s hiding it’s presence.) submitted by /u/InnerAd118
