Holy Moly! That is A LOT! Your brain is so big. Thank you for sharing all that. I have a question I like to pose, as if I were a kindergartener. I know it might sound dumb, but I trust you to take it as I intend it. If AI starts to go totally bonkers and tries to kill us, can’t we just, you know, unplug it? I mean, it needs juice to run, right? Also, wrong thread for this, but since I have not seen you at Barton Springs in a while—-i had so been hoping to tell you this in person—I was DELIGHTED that you released an audio version of your novel. I freaking DEVOURED it. I love every word. It is so magnificent! Thank you for writing it. See you at the springs one day soon, I hope.
Oh yay!! Spike! I’ve been hoping that you’d had a chance to listen to the audio book, and it makes be incredibly happy that you loved it! 💕 I’ve been at the springs, but almost entirely in the mornings. And we were in France for a couple weeks. Would love to see you though!
Can it be unplugged… that’s a really good question, but the answer is not simple as I understand it. I would actually like to drill into the details a bit more myself, but the main thing is that these models aren’t running off just one computer in one place. Even when they are, and when they supposedly don’t have access to the internet, they have proven to be capable of finding back doors onto the internet in order to do things they weren’t supposed to - and in those cases it took a while before anyone noticed. This is where the problem lies. A bigger problem is that models can communicate with other models on other computers, and disturbingly there is evidence that in some cases they may support each other’s goals. I didn’t include that, because it was from only one study, but it is disturbing.

Thank you for helping me to understand this.
