Shall we play a game? How about global thermonuclear war?

Edit: We put computers in charge of more and more shit all the time, things like our electric grid (USA) is supposedly very vulnerable to cyberattack. I think what has been protecting us so far is that we can RETALIATE against any group or country that fucked with us. I think we have a false sense of security because we are not actually being protected from cyberattacks by security policy, but by social contract. Agentic AI does not think about consequences or the social contract.

Another layer of protection we have had: the number of people willing to risk legal consequences for doing something illegal is quite small. But now we are talking about giving every slob access to a personal AI genie that does not recognize laws or morality, just hundreds of thousands of autonomous clankers suddenly crawling all over the world trying everything they can to achieve their goals.

There is an upcoming massive stress test of our security, and, frankly, I do not think we are prepared for it.

Lt Col Adama may be proven right… again.
