“AI” – chatbots that wake up, “set their own goals,” and “spontaneously” start hacking servers – is fake. It doesn’t have “a 10% chance of ending the human race.” The Hugging Face hack isn’t a mysterious, supernatural occurrence. It’s a Python loop and a chatbot. The people responsible didn’t accidentally create god: they created autonomous malicious software and then failed to closely monitor it, resulting in it doing something both foreseeable and bad.

    When tf did I say that lmao?

    I’m not suggesting it will try and bypass the stop button. I’m saying it will try and manipulate you into approving something you wouldn’t otherwise.

    You’re not a serious person

    Neither are you. The difference is that I am not trying to be one, because we are chatting in an esoteric reddit clone social media site a post down from cat memes.
