I'm guessing their argument is that if they don't do it first, China will. And they're probably right, unfortunately. I don't see a way around a future with AI weapons platforms if technology continues to progress.

Netflix has a documentary about it, it's quite good. I watched it yesterday, but forgot its name.

If we don’t, they will. And we can only learn by seeing it fail. To me, the answer is obvious. Stop making killing machines. 🤷‍♂️

What’s the opposite of eating the onion? I read the title before looking at the site and thought it was satire.

Wasn’t there a test a while back where the AI went crazy and started killing everything to score points? Then, they gave it a command to stop, so it killed the human operator. Then, they told it not to kill humans, and it shot down the communications tower that was controlling it and went back on a killing spree. I could swear I read that story not that long ago.
