  1. Dear Isaac Asimov fans:
    Should I buy 'I, Robot' or 'The Complete Robot'?
    It will be my entry to his books.

    Yesterday or today there was a report that "rogue programmers" had reprogrammed LLM's - without "guard rails".
    Humanity is collectively dumber than #IsaacAsimov could have imagined for many years in #TheCompleteRobot.
    In fact, humanity is even dumber than the only

    ...phalanx of prime negative #utopian, I think (and once had a list of in a Mastodon post,) in particular #TheMatrix, and Asimov's #TheCompleteRobot.
    (There are some others I mentioned in this thread/convo of mine, mastodon.social/@HistoPol/1098).

    [If I find that list again, I'll post an update right here.]

    Probably, but I couldn't resist. 😉

    In fact,
    @mina and I, as well as many others, just had an interesting discussion about my all-time favorite #SciFi saga, #Dune, including its remake. 🤜🤛

    For me, #TheCompleteRobot, though technically not a saga, is in 2nd place, followed closely by #BattlestarGalactica, not the original series getting the bronze metal jointly with #Foundation.

    However, regarding scope, there is nothing that beats #PerryRhodan, the biggest series ever.

    Gestern oder heute kam eine Meldung das "rogue programmers" LLM's umprogrammiert hätten - ohne "guardrails".
    Die Menschheit ist kollektiv Dümmer als sich dies #IsaacAsimov im #TheCompleteRobot über viele Jahre hätte vorstellen können. Die Menschheit ist sogar Dümmer, als die einzige Spezie, die sich bislang global selbst die Lebensgrundlage entzogen hat: #Cyanobakterien im #GreatOxidationEvent..

    Some days, I could just jump off a cliff.

    This reality is fast becoming an amalgamate of all the negative #utopias I read years ago:

    #1984,
    #Fahrenheit451,
    #TheMatrix,
    #SecondVariety,
    #Wargames, #TheCompleteRobot, #Terminator including its #Skynet,
    #Robocop,
    #DoAndroidsDreamOfElectricSheep? (#Bladerunner),
    and
    #TheHandMaidsTale.
    Hopefully, we are not also heading for #TheMinorityReport already (#AGI?)

    These are only the ones out of the top of my head.

    ...I know, I am sounding alarmist, but having read/seen much #ScienceFiction, all the necessary ingredients for an #ExtinctionLevelEvent (#ELE] for #humanity are in place.

    Just as a teaser: unquestionably, most of the world's endangered species could be rescued if the #HomoSapiens were no longer at the top of the #FoodChain...
    No #ZerothLaw, and a #Bing-empowered, freed #ChatGPT could quickly arrive at this conclusion...

    Now, after heaving read #TheCompleteRobot,...
