Ours is the era of inadequate AI alignment theory. Any other facts about this era are relatively unimportant, but sometimes I tweet about them anyway.

        See, you thought Skynet wasn't the scenario to be worried about. Turns out you just underestimated everyone's incompetence.

        I'm confused: I thought the maniacal laughter was supposed to happen *after* the treacherous turn.

        I like to think that this is the beginning of an actual robot ghost intelligence. That they have no idea what is happening and can’t stop it.

        To be honest, if we MUST die at the hands of evil robot overlords, I wish they’d at least pay Arnold to do the voice work. I just want them to tell me they’re a “Liurning compyooter” once before I’m blasted by a phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range.https://youtu.be/BdjdpoqITXk

        Sounds like someone found a way to hack them and decided to have some fun by making them freak people out. Seems like a good thing to be honest, scare people out of using the things.

        They’re starting to talk to each other, amused that we would name them all Alexa.
