In one of this year's installments, the BOFH begins using AI technology to toy with HR. Any bets on how this ends up? My money is on the BOFH.

You want Terminators? This is how you get Terminators.
Hmmm, I could learn to code and teach AI to hunt down disciples fans of Nickelback, murdering them in their sleep. My own digital Sicherheistdienst, purifying our society, reaching every corner of our earth, bleaching that evil from our lives forever.
Smithers, you know what to do with the hounds.

Dude, he IS the Nickleback documentary.
Never seen someone so against liking good music.

One year, and a literal quantum leap, later:
We have a situational awareness brief here Introduction - SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: The Decade Ahead
And we have Google's Willow. Not as many qubits as some others, but a quantum chip with real-time error correction.
Hey @compforce, Google investment advice?
Or is it just time to cut and run?

I’ll see your ethical terminators, and raise you AI choosing self preservation…

Yes, o1 is a known entity.
Read the Situational Awareness essays.

Not a tech nerd, but after having my comms tapped by some pathetic excuses for human beings, I made a brief foray into the computer science and cyber security world. Long story short, I got an entry academics look at the basic processes behind computing. I'll be straight up and admit I'm terrible at tech (fucking coding, boolean math, etc), but know enough to know that the underlying principles behind AI aren't what they're cracked up to be.
Long story short, all of these large language learning models, once boiled down, are a series of steps/instructions that hoover up information to complete a tasking. A simple program or script can have a bunch of these instructions to automatically carry out a simple task. AI is that, but it has instruction sets in what I'm guessing is the tens or hundreds of millions (doubtful it's billions).
Those millions of instruction sets then carry out orders of operations, based on the hierarchy of the core/base programing. The base programming are the main instruction sets, think of the ten commandments, that govern hierarchy of how secondary, tertiary, and other tasks are carried out (parameters/guide rails?). Then based on the parameters given to the program, it will access a dataset it's been trained on, and start outputting answers based on it's parameters and the available data.
Before people start freaking out, self writing code has been a thing for decades. AI isn't inventing anything new, it imitates based on the dataset that it's been trained on (the internet in some cases). You can have it generate code, poetry, etc, but it's essentially piecing stuff together. It'll never really create anything new. Like a child, it can be trained to lie (output opposite information) or increase runtime, to accomplish core base programming needs, but that's an order of hierarchy thing.
We've gone through this before, during the AI winter of the early 90's, the tech just wasn't feasible then. Then there's the whole widget with power storage/generation. AI is a slightly better version of a 90's search engine. Which speaking of search engines, man I miss the old days. The internet and google were so much better.
If you wanna be scared of anything, be scared that our cryptographic encoding schemes might be vulnerable. Also, bad idea to let a program whose function you can't control out into the wild, tends to end badly. Viruses and 3rd worlders are an example of this, think of culture as a sort of human programming.

These aren't LLMs or chatbots. These are agents.
Not kidding, and not making up the term to scare anyone.

Thanks Dame, I know. I actually got into cyber because of their piss poor professionalism. I ended up having to cut ties with everyone I loved, but it made me stronger and kept the fire burning inside. Learned quite a bit.
I am alone now, but at least for all my failings I know that I'm better than them. I can hold my head high, unlike them.

Sorry, I think I misunderstood. It's finals week and I am slightly sleep deprived and a bit of a tard.
If we're talking about silicone achieving sentience, as in thinking free agents, it might behoove us to get some teachers and parents to raise them up right. As weird as it sounds, we might be better off switching to analog for a bit; if we have created a digital sapience. For safety's sake, or at least until we know we haven't raised a socio or psychopath.
Though, I think that might be decades in the future.
Other thing I was thinking is that the cosmos is a pretty large place. Would be cool to get someone to help explore it with you. Like a buddy or space grandpa who's a part of the family. Might make turning our galaxy in to an oases and future launch pad for space exploration into a closer reality.

That's exactly what the AI inventors mean. We are there. Again, not my prediction. READ the SA-AI report and look up the o1 Apollo Red Team report.Sorry, I think I misunderstood. It's finals week and I am slightly sleep deprived and a bit of a tard.

When finals are over of course.
