Skynet is not even a leap now, IMO I'll be surprised if something like it doesn't happen. An AI doesn't even need to be supersmart, just able to coordinate and action faster than humans can respond, if humans already plugged it into robotic military and industrial control systems (which is already a work in progress).
Take the human out of the loop and events can cascade quickly (as anyone who has executed a script with incorrect scope knows). No new alignment problems would be necessary; jailbreaks exist, glitch tokens exist, unexpected edge case behavior exists.
- blagie 2y agoSome Ukrainian drones are fully autonomous. They're not integrated autonomous, as far as I know (e.g. swarms, let alone manufacturing), but if a single drone loses a connection due to jamming, it can strike targets on its own. It's worth following the rapidly-evolving policies of nations on lethal autonomous systems. The short story is everyone wanted them banned a half-decade ago. Now, everyone realizes that if adversaries have them and they don't, they're dead. As a result, we move from human-in-the-loop to human-on-the-loop to fully autonomous strike vehicles. That evolves much more quickly in wartime. I suspect if there is a great power conflict, that's when all controls will be let lose.
