Physically fighting a closing CD ROM tray in the 90s made me feel back then that the robot uprising couldn't possibly be far away.

But then I started working as a programmer, and while there are some niche technologies that are impressive on the surface, today's "AI" simply lack the advanced reasoning required to fulfill the role beyond a fancy autocomplete, and while the mechanisms and cybernetics in humanoid robots are objectively cool, there's no power source compact and efficient enough to make Sonny a realistic possibility any time soon.

I think we're closer to "Brazil" than "A.I.". Possibly the future depicted in The Terminator is a possibility, if you remove the intelligence and intent aspect of Skynet. I can easily imagine some battlefield planning software (deployed by Peter Thiel, of course) going rogue and causing a similar future.

yeah I find it hard to sometimes communicate it. I will say llms lack understanding or comprehension and will get how do you know. I then will say how it returns information but can't really get what its saying or evaluate it. So you can tell it to get you more on other basises or point out its wrong and even point out why its logically wrong but when it outputs it can't see when its output does not follow correctly which is why it can then say some bizzarro things. It can't stop and go. wait a second. that does not make any sense.
