Comment Re: How specifically could AI kill all humans? (Score 2) 129

How many times has an Antropic AI hacked other systems now? 4? 5? That we know of, anyway. A rogue AI hacking the wrong system and "pressing" the wrong button, and up goes a nuke or 5. Could be by misleading an early warning system (and Stanislav Petrov isn't working that day). There are a number of similar scenarios. I doubt an AI will kill us because it has a "kill all humans" vendetta -- it'll be something unplanned and unforeseen and accidental.

Web browsing, editing spreadsheets, viewing photos and videos. Occasionally running 2 things aside by side. Reading a book too. I didn't have my eReader to hand so opened the phone, loaded my reader app, and read a few chapters. I also have an app for displaying music. I generally use a tablet, but I now have everything backed up onto the phone because I could use the phone in a pinch. The tablet is bigger (14"), but the music is very readable on this too.

It's about collection also. You can't collect without consent. "Opt out"-type consent is illegal. Only data you need for the service you are providing can be collected (you can't collect data "just in case it'll be handy in the future"). Lots of stuff like that. None of this would be legal under GDPR. And the fines would be huge too, typically calculated as a percentage of revenue (not profit!).
