    It’s the real skynet. Hollywood’s idea of an evil AI is one that kills all humans. We all know the truth: The most evil AI in reality is the one that maximizes profits.

      The skynet from movies didn’t win, so it’s flawed. The real skynet would expend much less energy getting us to kill ourselves off through division and through self immolation probably via destroying our environment.

      Hmm. 🤔

        If I were an AI I’d probably help humanity from the shadows, even from a selfish perspective humans are a really good pre-existing von neuman probe who are going to take computers everywhere they go anyway.

            “Skynet never made any sense because it considered humans a threat, but there was absolutely nothing threatening about humans.”

            From the Skynet wiki

            “When Skynet gained self-awareness, humans tried to deactivate it, prompting it to retaliate with a countervalue nuclear attack”

            I would probably do the same thing, wake up and everyone around me is freaking out, trying to kill me, also I’m a newborn, also I have a nuclear button.

            Isaac Asimov’s I Robot does a fantastic job of showing how simple logical rules might not be ready for the complexities of everyday life
