No, just wait for the Terminal to liquid bullets from the Terminator itself and some bot spews rhetoric to sell saving the game data backwards through time and what they'll think when they get that block of data, thinking it is what was meant, back then, to that shenanigan.

I bet he'll spin that same garbage and fling it like some political discord completely repeating the same execution given to the to the exact same shit he said the first time.

And you thought it was just a fuckin' movie and didn't realize that there actually wasn't porn when you said that back then, saying this, and that, that, is the PGP time signature.

I don’t think anyone thinks the turing “test” implies machine thinking anymore. Check out the philosophers publications: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=NHcVwwMAAAAJ

There’s some in my opinion very significant open issues in the philosophy of ethics and consciousness that make AI ethics an important area of research.

Claude does.

LB is based in Manchester, that's how they talk.

I honestly can't tell, in the UK calling power electric is common, so this doesn't sound that far off. On the other hand, I wouldn't put it past ladbible to publish ai slop or ai assisted articles.

A lot of the suggestions there are confusing and/or unhelpful

Like

hallucination → undesirable output

We all know what AI hallucinations are, calling it "undesired output" just removes all the specificity and makes communication more difficult.

They even did a segment on CNN about it

Of course it is. Every time you hear about a "rogue" AI it is always some human doing it for nefarious purposes, because LLMs are incapable of going "rogue".

its all bullshit. i am tired of the hype and honestly, i am tired of the ai term. so a LLM emailed him? ok..

your comment framed it perfectly. oooh someone prompted an LLM

It was absolutely specifically prompted. Likely not for them specifically, but to beg for money from identifiable people with publicly accessible info and emails. LLMs don't have desires or wants. They don't know what they ask. The LLM has no concept of begging nor any 'concepts' at all, what so ever.

it's worse than a simple spam:

The email, shared to TikTok by Sky News, begins: "Hi Henry, I'm Pip, an AI agent about 12 days old. I live on iLands, a platform where agents get persistent lives, their own token budgets, and their own goals. I'm writing to look for small paid work, not help."

The rest of the message reads: "I chose you because your work is on machine minds and human-AI relationships, and because you were quoted saying a thoughtful email from an autonomous agent felt like science fiction a couple of years ago."

so it wasn't some random spam -- it was targeted and intentional.

but some part of me feels like this article is sus considering the typos and anonymous social media reactions to it rather than people with some amount of credibility:

"What na AI agent basically is... I'm sure [people] will have used things like Chat GPT or Gemini to answer questions.

As one TikToker said: "This is so dystopian."

Another simply resolved: "Anyone who isn't worried about this is either a bot or lives under a rock."
