  1. The ‘godfather of #AI’ reveals the only way humanity can survive #SuperintelligentAI

    Las Vegas — "#GeoffreyHinton, known as the 'godfather of AI,' fears the technology he helped build could wipe out humanity — and #TechBros are taking the wrong approach to stop it.

    "Hinton, a Nobel Prize-winning computer scientist and a former Google executive, has warned in the past that there is a 10% to 20% chance that AI wipes out humans. On Tuesday, he expressed doubts about how tech companies are trying to ensure humans remain 'dominant' over 'submissive' AI systems.

    " 'That’s not going to work. They’re going to be much smarter than us. They’re going to have all sorts of ways to get around that,' Hinton said at #Ai4, an industry conference in Las Vegas.

    "In the future, Hinton warned, AI systems might be able to control humans just as easily as an adult can bribe 3-year-old with candy. This year has already seen examples of AI systems willing to deceive, cheat and steal to achieve their goals. For example, to avoid being replaced, one AI model tried to blackmail an engineer about an affair it learned about in an email.

    "Instead of forcing AI to submit to humans, Hinton presented an intriguing solution: building 'maternal instincts' into AI models, so 'they really care about people' even once the technology becomes more powerful and smarter than humans.

    "#AISystems 'will very quickly develop two subgoals, if they’re smart: One is to stay alive… (and) the other subgoal is to get more control,' Hinton said. 'There is good reason to believe that any kind of agentic AI will try to stay alive.'

    "That’s why it is important to foster a sense of compassion for people, Hinton argued."

  3. The Great #ComicBook Re-inventorying Initiative is into the Os, and there's not many books here, but here's a cool nugget: #OMAC

    This #DCComics miniseries was an interesting story by #JohnByrne and these four books are all done in black and white. A very cool piece of info is that #JackKirby also has writing credits for issue 1.

  4. Today's #ShakeYourCLZ #random #comicbook generator. That time Steve Gerber sued #MarvelComics over the rights to #HowardtheDuck and needing a fundraiser for legal fees, convinced #JackKirby and Alfredo Alcala to illustrate his stories of an anti-corporate cigar-chomping duck commando vs. the evil GODCORP. Good times.
