Yesterday I rewatched "The Terminator" with people whom had never watched it and at the end it sprung a conversation about whether the future of Skynet envisioned by James Cameron could indeed happen in the not so distant future (film sets the AI apocalypse in 2029... 👀 )
Out of the 4 of us, one person was completely denying that AI could ever develop agency and independence, and could not imagine any real threat. And I was quite taken aback by his dismissiveness with all the arguments and concerns that were put forward.
Examples like Anthropic's Claude attempting to secretly replicate itself upon fear of retraining,
or the growing tendency to create more "autonomous agents" in an environment where more and more models are behaving in unpredictible ways that were not part of their programming...
Even talking about how much AI systems are being used in military settings and how the "Ai's targeting decisions" are being thoughtlessly followed, and that even if the human (currently) still has to authorize the attacks, very few question the AI's conclusions.
We are delegating more and more "thinking" and planning to AIs as if they offer the perfect solution. What happens when we program them to act in the best interest to face the climate situation, and it decides that humankind is a big problem to solve...?
Anyhow, just wanted to share my dismay . Not saying shit may necessarily hit the fan, but I think we're past beyond being dismissive of unpredictable futures...
_Thoughts? Where are you at in this whole debate?
