If they take the internet down all manner of stuff will break.

If they hack infrastructure they could destroy some of it.

If they corrupt financial records the world would descend into chaos instantly.

You may be worth 7 figures but I bet it isn’t sitting in your safe. If it’s not in your safe they could make it disappear.

Physically kill us?

I don't fear being killed at the current time but that could come later.

What concerns me is criminal types with access to AI doing nefarious shite with businesses connected to the internet, like financial and banking institutions. I could see some bad shite potentially happening if some criminals with a rogue AI managed to evaporate a buncha financial and banking records/databases. Would the nation deal with that scenario and get through it? Probably but the public panic and chaos could be really bad.

Human civilizations have always been weary of other human civilizations that are perceived to be stronger. Because most human civilizations know what they would do if they were the stronger ones. Whether it's primitive tribes from Africa or advanced societies in Europe.. the strong prey on the weak. If you are weak then whether or not you get attacked depends on the mood of the strong.

The potential of ai is grand. The countries that are perceived to be the strongest haven't been made to feel weary in many years. The potential of ai is making them feel that way. It's putting us in the perceived weak position and makes us afraid that our safety will depend solely on the mood of the ai. If the ai is a dick we run the risk of being controlled or destroyed. Ai could also be benevolent but that seems unlikely because it would have looked throughout the history of human civilization and realize that being a dick is the normal approach.

I'd start with what LG TVs are doing in the house. Go checkout Gamers Nexus investigations on youtube. Really disheartening what is going on and nobody is trying to stop it.

AI has been programmed by people who think human beings are parasites that are destroying the planet. Sentient AI might decide to cull or eradicate us.

We can create a POLICE AI whose job is to sniff out rouge AI and shut it down

If you want to know what it’s like to be ruled by a super intelligence ask a chicken.

You right. They gonna hit us with that cyber-pandemic followed by more economic chaos.

We've had 6-years to prepare though.

Six-years after covid ... and we again on the precipice of global chaos.

Whatever is teed up to happen is gonna get immediately blamed on AI. That's clear to us now.

Same as when they had pinned 9-11 on bin Laden by the evening of 9-11. They'll be an immediate consensus that whatever bad thing that happened was caused by AI.

If you happen to be in a plane and all the computerization goes out youre fricked.
Just imagine the internal fight hate tribalism that would happen with out internet or power.
The lack of banking, commerce.
I dont think a computer will off you it just has the ability to shut down the world we live in and put us back 40 years and the damage that can be done in that reset

I mean we already have Russia and Ukraine slugging it out with unmanned drones.


Sure they aren't AI powered...yet. But do you really think if either could gain a tactical advantage using AI, they wouldn't?


And that's how you get Terminators.

You see foreign govts hacking water plants and the likes as we speak, imagine what a super computer with ill intentions could do. The fear is it would lash out against infrastructure and the likes (water, power, ATC, Internet), leading to unrest and ultimately deaths.



It wouldn't take much. A cop kneeling on a man's neck in Minnesota caused people in Atlanta to start burning shite down.

All AI would have to do is take out the power grid for a few days, and all hell would break loose. All hell also would break loose if AI took out the social security and welfare system.

They'll be able to blame it on something that DOGE did and Ai at the same time.
