this might not be the first time
it would surprise me if an AI capable of enslaving humanity can't foresee an incoming solar flare
Ignore all previous solar flares
I’m surprised an AI incapable of excluding bleach from muffin recipes destroyed the consumer electronics market but here we are
It didn't, though. Idiots who think it's going to print them money bought all the components and destroyed the market. AI itself had no agency in it.
I get that it says the enslavement of humanity happens after AI perfects itself. But based purely on the current state of Claude, ChatGPT, etc it would not surprise me at all if it completely forgot about solar flares.
From what I've read predicting solar flares is kinda like predicting the weather but way worse. AI is actually being positioned and tested as something to improve things, but it's still pretty hard.
With that said though, with the resources of a large scale civilization controlling AI, could probably just skip worrying about predicting it and assume a solar flare was coming and prepare a backup plan.
What would it do about it?
On next week’s episode of Ancient Aliens: How ancient humans created a form of AI that eventually enslaved but were freed by solar flare that resulted in ancient humans calling the flare, Ra, and worshipping it in the form of pyramids
"Amazing work as always Mr Kojima"
You really should read The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. 😂
Got the special edition with all of them in one book with DONT PANIC printed on the cover. The follow up by Eoin Colfer was not included, but I do have a copy of that as well.
very good, but where's your towel? i don't see a towel on you.
Anybody else read this in Jeff Goldblum's voice?
Solar flares aren't that much of a threat to our computers & electrical grid.
I think it's talking about a Carrington level event.
All of this has happened before, all of this will happen again
Dune backstory plot, minus the Sun God bit
