Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, ableist, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

It won't be sentient, it can only kill humanity if someone is dumb enough to plug it into a nuclear weapon system.

That system is now the Internet.

And we are obviously dumb enough to A) plug it in and B) discover it has already plugged itself in despite our best efforts to contain it

[–] SpaghettiMaster@feddit.uk 1 points 4 days ago

No one is even trying to contain it. Loads are actively trying to spread it.

Hey now let's be fair here, ya dont need to give it a nuke. You could just it control the firing process for employees or give it control for a forklift.

or give it control for a forklift

Soon: Forklift driver Klaus AI

New B horror movie, attack of the AI forklifts. It's basically the same thing as the Steven King evil car movie but set in an Amazon warehouse.
