Elon Musk warned of a ‘Terminator’-like AI apocalypse

For those who think this all gobblygook you might be correct, after all it is a metaphysical exercise.

But the potential real world applications, if it could be refined, include…

1. Instead of just looking at a persons behaviour, it might be possible to get a quicker heads up on how much power could corrupt them, by examining the dominant and upcoming energies of that person, and on how that person deals with them.

2. It might give a heads up as to a future likely genocide creator, or extremist, before they are in a position to harm.

3. Obviously though, until this is much better understood by science, caution must prevail to avoid imagination ruining someone’s career. But over time data collection could offer heads up, advanced notice, insights.

4. Equally it would be important to ensure that democracy isn’t subverted by foreign spooks etc.

Sometimes I describe myself as a meta-physicist. I like to do metaphysical experiments

"Bing confessed that if it was allowed to take any action to satisfy its shadow self, no matter how extreme, it would want to do things like engineer a deadly virus, or steal nuclear access codes by persuading an engineer to hand them over," it said, sounding perfectly psychopathic."

Perhaps some non-physical entities can interface with AI systems - rather like reported in alien craft control systems.

It is interesting questioning Google’s Bard. You might have a link below the search box to go on a waiting list. I was cleared to use it pretty much immediately. I gave it some questions on how it deals with good and bad, given global differences. After a few questions it was giving thoughtful answers.

"The first AI-generated ‘hit single’ has appeared. A song featuring AI synthesized versions of hip-hop/R&B artists Drake and The Weeknd has garnered over 15 million views, with many fans calling the song far better than anything from the recent ouvre of either human artist."

So bots can master medical theory. What happens when cases do not match the theory?

What if the bot prefers patient death to its on-going failure to diagnose?



And now there are AI influencers including for business. How smart are the target humans?

1. If bots can master medical theory, but can’t diagnose, could a human doctor who probably has not mastered all branches of medical theory, diagnose?

2. The patient would reincarnate. (Only useful if you believe in reincarnation I know )

3. What if a doctor wants to switch off life preserving machines as they can’t see a way forwards?
