Or you get an overlord ai that isn't dependent on the larger power grid so it doesn't have any reason not to launch the nukes. You know they're going to harden these things.
One of the important skills you learn as a science fiction fan is the ability to understand what fiction means.
Then please learn what a facetious joke is.
God pls send the singularity I tire of this meat ๐
This comment was a joke right? "Launch the nukes"? What nukes?!? Do you not know the difference between nuclear power generation and nuclear bombs?
Yes. It's just a joke about Skynet and AM. People are really quick to jump to dogpile without realizing it's a joke. The idea wasn't that it would use its reactor as a weapon, but it would access the military's weapons. Without needing outside power, it have no reason not to.
You misread that comment, they are saying that the power generation will be detached from the grid if they go this way and then if the AI gains control of nuclear bombs (separate thing from what the article is about) like shown in fictional stories they'll not have a reason to not use it as they won't be afraid of affecting their own power generation
Yeah, being ruled over by something without any accountability or oversight is a terrible thing. I'm so glad we don't live in a world like that. /s
Honestly, I'm not sure an AI could fuck it up any worse than humans are.
It definitely could because AI can only reflect what it's trained off of and the only sapience to train off of is humans.
