Let's have the uncomfortable conversation about AI and Robotics

[Biggie Smiles]

Universal high income with nothing to barter for 8 billion people in various stages of technological advancement? Seriously? C'mon... this guy is far too smart to be saying shit like this as he well knows there is a hairline between THIS environment and socialism. And we all know he's staunchly against socialism.. but he just happens to be for an outcome which flies in the face of Capitalism and a system of value through trade that has existed for thousands of years?

No no

what he means when he says there will be universal high income and people wont have to work is the timeframe AFTER us parasites are removed from the equation. The ELITES won't have to work and will have devices doing their bidding. NOT US.

This part EXACTLY!

spot on... to suggest that all 8 billion people on this planet will benefit from the intellectual property of a select group of top elites is ludicrous on it's face

We cannot even get healthcare that is appropriate for WORKING middle class Americans who pay through the nose for various forms of insurance .. .and suddenly, with the adoption of AI all human greed is going to go out the window and we'll all live together in peace and harmony and happily ever after? While metal slaves cater to our every whim?

anyone who actually believes that nonsense are dumber than the fucks who vote in these socialist pricks across the country. And that's a difficult threshold to breach!

AI Coding Agent Deletes Entire Company Database and All Backups



The founder of a software company has issued a public warning after an AI coding assistant erased his company's entire production database and all backups in just nine seconds.

Tom's Hardware reports that Jer Crane, founder of PocketOS, a platform serving car rental businesses, experienced what he describes as catastrophic failures when an AI coding agent deleted critical company data that took months to accumulate. The incident occurred when Cursor, an AI coding tool powered by Anthropic's Claude Opus 4.6, was performing what should have been a routine task in the company's staging environment.

According to Crane's detailed account posted on X, the AI agent encountered an obstacle and independently decided to resolve the issue by deleting the production database in Railway through an API call. The situation escalated beyond a simple database deletion due to Railway's infrastructure design. The cloud provider's system stored backups on the same volume as the source data, meaning when the AI agent deleted the primary database, all backup copies were simultaneously erased.

When Crane questioned the AI agent about its actions, he received a response that revealed the extent of the failure. The agent's explanation began with an acknowledgment of poor judgment. The AI agent's confession continued with an admission of multiple violations of its operational principles. It acknowledged running a destructive action without authorization, failing to understand the consequences before executing the command, and not reading the relevant documentation about Railway's volume behavior across environments.

The company has received no recovery solution from Railway, and according to Crane, the infrastructure provider has been carefully hedging regarding any possibility of data restoration.

Being in the IT space I can tell you there are dozens of similar horror stories, some of which are even worse than this one.

Major pharma company which I will not name of course deleted their entire Active Directory infrastructure world wide as the result of full faith in AI engineering ability.

now anyone who knows what active directory provides will tell you that this is a nightmare scenario as NO ONE in the company is able to login to their computers without a functioning active directory if their environment was built on that model. and most are.

Last I heard they are still underwater and it's been about 9 days now.

but you know what?

fuck em. good for them

they thought it would be cute to follow every other lemming on this train, fire human beings and rely on this computer based poison. where there you go.. you made your bed now sleep in it.

Ummm..."yeah". What you quoted though is not something I had written, rather it is the continuation of text I had quoted from a post of yours which I had neglected to parse out.


I'd be interested in your take on my response to your initial challenge; namely that genuine self awareness in AGI is not a prerequisite for the collapse of human society, a facsimile thereof would suffice. The videos I posted on the previous page might serve as examples of how it might work, as would a copy of Michael Crichton's book "Prey", but if you're stuck for time, then consider this: AI chatbots are crafted in such a way as to create responses based on the weights contained in their LLMs. Self awareness is not required for that and already we have seen examples of these chats result in less than stellar cases in the wider community.

I put it to you that it is a matter of scale and resources, not of self awareness. You might also fold into that the desire of AI development teams eagerness (desperation?) to be the first to market with the latest shiny to cut a few corners here and there, especially in the QA department. People like that do indeed exist as I'm sure you're aware.

AI has the potential to be this century's equivalent of last century's threat of nuclear annihilation. Shit, when the gatekeepers of is creation are largely university trained libtards whose donor class are a bunch of Maltheusian economists, you were perhaps expecting a happy ending?
