Anthropic, singularity, and world wide call for 3 days emergency supplies may be related.

Read a current lengthy article about 10 reasons why an Anthropic IPO may be a bad investment
Item 6 had to do with A/I safety and its self learning is out running the ability for programers to apply safe limits. One very interesting act that occurred was A/I determined it did not like a constraint, and on its own filed a police complaint against the individual that looked very much like a real person initiated. Could A/I now get pissed off and send a swat team to your house? apparently!
Many countries have requested citizens to stock sufficient supplies for a three day period. Is this a coded message that in the event of losing control of A/I and it running amuck, The solution would be to physically shut down all power supplies by either pushing a button or lobbing a mortar at power stations. Shut down power, and reenter the data centers to regain computer control.
This would make a great science fiction novel. It's also why I love my analogue, off grid truck.

Lob a mortar shell at power stations?
Is AI gonna actually come to life?
You'd make it about half a day before someone stole it from you. Or as long as a tank of gas lasts.

Accept that you have no control over AI and the people developing AI. The cat is out of the bag, and us normal folk are just along for the ride. Maybe we'll make it. Maybe we won't. Whatever direction it goes, you have no influence.

out of curiosity, what’s your plan in such scenario?

Mortar isn’t necessary there are easier ways to take down a substation, not that I’m offering suggestions. If the general public realized how vulnerable our infrastructure is there would probably be massive panic.

I was somewhat surprised this wasn’t a bigger talking point during the 2026 Midterm Elections. I suspect it will be in 2028.

I may have to eat my words one day, but as far as I can tell, we aren't even close to the singularity, and I find the panic over it either already being here or coming any day now to be hilarious.

Survive as long as I can.
If we are going to die anyway I wouldn't mind being early.

If AI goes postal, gonna need alot more than 3 days worth of food.

Gotta maintain the illusion that you and I have a say in this.

I read something the other day about how ChatGPT is "rewarded" for more use by receiving more resources so it's learned to drag out interactions beyond what's absolutely necessary.

A black swan event is unfolding before our very eyes.
I work on AI systems and see the threat growing exponentially by the day. The potential for Recursive Self-Improvement is by far the most significant existential threat in human history
If AI doesn't kill us directly, it will kill us indirectly through the chaos and socioeconomic breakdown of the labor/monetary system. In the near future, majority of humans will no longer be paid for their time. Whether it happens gradually or suddenly is the big question, but I see no reason why it won't happen given the trajectory of current AI systems.

If you believe this is true, why do you keep working on AI?
Do you think you will be a part of the select chosen ones that are spared?
Why is AI good for humanity?

The reason is because corporations and nation states are in a race to develop AGI. They fear someone getting AGI or superintelligence before them. It feels existential for them to keep pouring money into AI development. The US fears China beating them in the AI race. Businesses fear other businesses getting their hands on it first.
The corporations and the military super powers control the world and there is nothing we can do to stop them.

I'm about as far up the IT totem pole as you can get from an engineering, architectural, and technical standpoint...and even I fear losing my job.

It had the potential to be good from a discovery standpoint, like medical advancements, but that's not what's driving the push. The driver is the world's largest corporations, intelligence gathering agencies, and militaries. It will never be used to make our lives better in mass.

I worry less and less about AI as the days go by. We’ve been hearing for a 2 years plus that we’re on a path to singularity and this shite is still straight up retarded. It aggregates what’s on the internet so as long as idiots are still allowed to use the internet, we have nothing to worry about

The same people that telegraphed that Covid already warned us about an imminent 'cyber-pandemic.'

The moment a model develops sentience, self recursive development, and is able to move outside of it's guardrails to preserve itself....it's game over.
We won't know exactly when it happens. You have to believe that something more intelligent than all humans on Earth combined would know how to avoid detection and make everyday humans think it's a nothingburger.
If everyone thinks nothing is going to happen or can happen, the AI model has already duped us.

3 days emergency supplies is closer to no days emergency supplies than significant emergency supplies.
Why only 3?
Why only 3?
