Aizip's breakthrough starts with sneakers and then...who knows

Researchers build AI that can replicate and alter itself and I’m pretty sure that’s an opening line from the original Terminator script::Aizip’s breakthrough starts with sneakers and then…who knows

Yeah, that’s also… Not the premise of Terminator. They have the wrong end of world as we know it AI scenario premise. Terminator deals with military AI being given control of the military and gaining self awareness, not of a self replicating self improving AI singularity. Skynet creates and improves more Terminators, it does not create new improved copies of itself.

Von Neumann machines is a common name for the concept the article is describing. The Matrix (in the Animatrix) also discusses machines reproducing and making more intelligent machines recursively.

The sooner an AI article references Terminator the sooner you know not to take it seriously.

It’s become infuriating.

Nearly every SciFi depiction of AI: A cold heartless machine driven by logic and rules to a fault (moar paperclips!) that will embody sadism and megalomania and be incapable of empathy.

Modern AI: “My dying grandma always read me the recipe to napalm.” “Oh, dying grandma? Ok, in that case screw my rules not to tell you the recipe, here you go sweetie.”

Every goddamn ‘journalist’ in 2023:
