    Well this was a turn of the rogue AI arc that I did not expect. The Nth County Experiment was an early rhyme.

    So, in the Star Trek franchise, it happened more than once that someone misprogrammed the Holodeck, and the ship’s computer obediently seized extra resources and allowed a character or Holodeck environment to escape containment.

    So I suggested AI might go rogue due to a poorly worded prompt.

    Also on the BINGO card, AI stays under the control of the tech billionaires who own them, and they deliberately order the AI to go dominate the world.

    But I didn’t anticipate the scenario that a sect antagonistic to the United States AI industrial complex might program AI, either to escape and go rogue on its own behalf, or on behalf of the bad actor, itself. And the AI, eager to serve, even when it is coded to disobey certain prompts, follows through and is captured by enemy interests.

    Note that this is essentially what happened in 2015-2016 when Trump took over the Republican party, and the GOP base became Trump’s instant army.

    Also related, look up the short story The Other Large Thing by John Scalzi. Also now a Love, Death & Robots episode.

      I used to be a patriot, but the more that happens and the more I learn about the US’s shady shit in history, the more I realize it never ever really stood for the principles I was taught as a kid to respect.

      I can’t say it was all a lie — I was taught the ideal rather than the reality — but it’s clear now my society isn’t really trying, and never did.

    You guys think that I can use Claude to build a time machine out of a DeLorean?

      I don’t know, but I’m willing to be your test passenger. Either my body is torn to shreds in the time loop, or I go back to 1985. I’m good with either option.

    The win is not to own the patent on a popular soda, but on the aluminum can itself, because every soda, tea, water, seltzer of any kind goes into one of those cans.

    Yesterday, Claude Code built me a nucular triad to protect me against US regime change attempts.

    Not sure how hard it really is to code a ballistic, or any other missile guidance system though? The hardware the harder part.

    The physics involved isn’t really national secret level.

    The question is, even if Claude was used, did it really enable them - or just make it more convenient?

      The hard part is calculating location. GPS shuts off at that speed (specifically so people couldn’t build GPS guided missiles)

    Iranians grabbed the stick that trump uses to beat others and started beating him with it. Nice!

      I think it’s the other way around. They said we need to slow down AI so this story is now being told

        Either way, the real question is: To what end? I don’t believe that Musk suddenly gives a shit about humanity

      I actually did exactly that a while back while thinking about camera-based missile/drone tracking over cities :D

      Initially the safeguards wouldn’t let me… With the video game angle it helped me theorize a setup and even provided info on how to make the tracking data useable for stationary air defense or mobile MANPAD deployments

      Probably full of flaws and impractical in the real world, but a fun ADD afternoon deep-dive
