How would AI actually “kill all humans”?

That’s what we’re being told by an OpenAI person. I haven’t got the imagination obviously to work how this would happen.

Interesting question. Something I am trying to get to grips with.

We do know that so far it hasn’t been possible (haven’t a clue why not) to ensure these AI models see human life to be preserved at all costs.

That although small at the moment, the models are beginning to act independently of their human “masters”

Not OpenAI. It’s Anthropic.

Good question, I’ve been mulling that. Would AI take over armed drones or nuclear power? BBC news app has some interesting articles on AI. One example showing it has no ‘conscience’ or moral code was someone who tried to get it to book them into a gym class. The AI booked them in going months ahead and kicked other gym members off the list!
