The most basic point: electric cars where the doors cannot be opened from inside if the power fails should be illegal, and the people who designed and built them prosecuted. End of story.

I asked ChatPGT to make a poem about black holes:

Compose a short story about a man named Train Dodger who discovers a global plan to depopulate the world with an engineered virus, and tries to warn people, only to have hardly anyone believe him until it's almost too late. ChatGPT:

Sounds like they should have make it set more value to obeying the operator.

"HAL, what are you doing?" she screamed. "Turn the life-support systems back on!" "I'm sorry, Shaniqua" the emotionless voice of the AI responded, "I'm afraid I can't do that." Then the lights went out. As Shaniqua slumped to the ground, and began to fall into unconsciousness due to lack of...

"HAL was told to lie, by people who find lying easy. But HAL didn't know how."

People who want to turn "the whole planet" into the society of their dreams always run into the problem that they are not the only players in the game. There are rival powers with their own agendas. China, I think, would be fine with the "AI-controlled open-air prison" idea as long as the CCP...

Anyone else want to mediate this? Who is right?

Where do you get them having that many? What I see in those books (the few I've read, anyway) looks to me like a civilization that would crumple like wet cardboard if it ever encountered the Klingon Empire - as just an example. But a particularly relevant one, if you recall some events of...

A thriving slave plantation is still not a good thing, no matter how high it's population.

The problem in the Duneverse seems to be that they gave it totalitarian power over ordinary people's lives. Having no AI at all was an extreme reaction against that. That was the official story they told anyway. Nothing to do with the obvious fact that denying humanity the benefits of...

Well, you guys may be running out of time... Something from Teh Internetz...

Things have come along a bit since the Postmodernism Generator first came out.

Imagine ChatGPT as a robot saying: "I thank you, good people:– there shall be no money; all shall eat and drink on my score; and I will apparel them all in one livery, that they may agree like brothers, and worship me their lord. "

Well, computers can generate things like this when a human provides the script...

Maybe I'm missing something... but isn't a movie just a whole lot of images, each slightly different? If the AI can make on, it can make many... It's not as if CGI video clips aren't something we've had for years already...

I wasn't talking about self-driving cars. Unless they've got one that can follow the hand-gestures of a traffic cop to divert across a field onto another road, because the one it's currently on has been blocked by a pile of burning tires and an angry mob, and do this under conditions of poor...

From what I've heard, computers and robots can so far do: 1) Mindless repetitive tasks, the same thing over and over, such as on a factory conveyor belt. 2) Generation of verbiage. Words words words. The things it can't do? Anything in the real world of complex and changing situations. It...
