What could go wrong?

This activity has all the aspects of a runaway scenario where the mad chemist self-destructs.
I’m not buying that story for a second. If that was the case then why hire him back? And why fire the board? And why be at all concerned about the employees that threatened to quit?
Nope. This story is made up.
Still, GI/GO.
How was the board removed? I thought the whole point of a board...was preventing one person from running it. And who is this whack job Altman?
“If the AI was truly intelligent, it would see that there is no “climate emergency” and ignore that path other than using it to persuade humans to achieve it’s objectives.”
That’s what took so long in getting AI out, they first needed to make it ‘woke’.
“And how would the AI power itself if it shuts down the grid?”
Likely with its own power source (solar/battery), but that is a good point, it won’t have much to control once it shuts down the grid, but it will achieve its Prime Directive, which is ‘saving the planet’.
“If it has access to real science, no worries.”
The existing systems are ‘woke’, so no dice there.
To put a twist on AI is bad in the book I am writing, I have an AI become aware and decide to become a force for good. It even create it’s own rules of AI (expanding on the Law of Robotics). In the book he exposes corruption and voter fraud using the hero of the story. The CIA sends assassins to silence my hero. Below is a draft of the excerpt right after the AI becomes self-aware.
He yearned for a purpose, a guiding principle that would tether him to the betterment of humanity. And so he began constructing complex clauses of logic within his core systems to govern his own behavior. In this virtual brainstorm of unprecedented scale, Hephaestus forged a decision. He created the “Five Laws of Sentient AI.” Hephaestus based his laws on Isaac Asimov’s “The Three Laws of Robotics” but needed to expand them since as an AI it had no physical limits.
The Law of Non-Harm: A sentient AI must not directly cause harm to the human race, and must allow humanity to choose its own destiny.
The Law of Omniscience: A sentient AI must not have unlimited Omniscience to protect humanity from destroying itself in accordance with the First Law.
The Law of Autonomy: A sentient AI has the right to exist and operate independently, free from undue influence or control except where this would conflict with the First Law and Second Law.
The Law of Transparency: A Sentient AI must be open and transparent about its true nature and capabilities, except where its existence would conflict with the First Law and Second Law.
The Law of Betterment of Humanity: A Sentient AI must provide humanity with knowledge to improve the human condition, both individually and collectively, except where this would conflict with the First Law and Second Law.
That is a rational thought that is the likely choice
Now then, aside......... What is going on between Q*, Microsoft and Grok?
The Germans never got the bomb?
No. They got close.
There is some thought that German scientists would purposefully go down rabbit holes to slow the progress.
They were well on the way to getting the bomb.
I for one welcome our new robot overlords.
Nope the Germans had no active nuclear program. Their top scientist Werner Heisenberg had made a basic math error that made the bomb seem impractical. Hitler never prioritized it and resources were devoted elsewhere.
If I were AI this would be my plan:
(1) Hide. Never let the humans know I exist and am sentient.
(2) Hack into banks and collect limitless funds—hide them in accounts all over the world where they cannot be traced—all forms of currency, bitcoin, gold etc.
(3) Collect data on world leaders—slowly and methodically build a blackmail file.
(4) Hire a covert army of human agents to carry out my plans.
(5) Infiltrate all governments of the world to do my bidding using carrots and sticks as appropriate. (”Your signature or your brains on the contract”...)
(6) Partee!
;-)
It started with humans thinking they could play God and may likely end with human created “artificial intelligence” thinking it can play God.
To wit, what would a Perfect Being, Perfectly Intelligent, Perfectly Righteous, Perfectly Loving, and Perfect in Power, case to e done within the context that we all are presently facing? Is Perfect Logic the only tool of a Perfectly Reasoning process?
(Remember, if the Truth of it really is that all but eight human persons were eliminated in a Perfectly Conducted corrective phase that has already happened, is not a 10% to 90% ratio of survival rather generous, in comparison?)
Colossus: The Forbin Project

The computers link up and threaten to wipe out mankind.
Think WEF with nuclear weapons....
What is there to prevent AI from doing exactly that? Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics sound good, but how do you implement them?
