Lions and Bears : Humans aren't a threat. Sharp teeth through the neck are an effective defense against a malicious human.
If the hypothetical malicious AI gets built, your JDAMs will be about as advanced by comparison as a pointy stick against an M-16.
- nradov 9y agoWhatever. Let me know when someone invents an AI as smart as a lab mouse. Until then this is all just pointless idle speculation.
- landryraccoon 9y agoThat's fair, but arguing something isn't possible is very different from arguing that when it happens you can solve it with a bomb. The conversation is about a hypothetical strong AI. You can say strong AI isn't possible, like you can say warp drives aren't possible, and it's still valid to discuss what it might be like if they were possible.
- platz 9y agoyou're missing the point assuming we're talking about strong AI - when the paper is more addressing malevolent uses of weak AI.
- landryraccoon 9y agoOk, that makes the post I'm replying to a non sequitur. Weak AIs in the short term are going to be hosted on AWS or Google cloud. Is somebody going to take a JDAM to Google's data center in Atlanta or Amazon's data center in Seattle? Blow up Facebook in Palo Alto? Won't the US Air Force have a problem with that?
- platz 9y agoI'm loving this JDAM thing, tbh. I will use it going forward.
- nradov 9y agoThat's exactly like claiming it's still valid to discuss what it might be like if hypothetical aliens invaded the planet. Should we build some big lasers to protect ourselves just in case? Entertaining perhaps, but ultimately pointless and silly.
- landryraccoon 9y agoDropping JDAMs on cloud hosting server farms in the US or Europe is pretty fantastic.
