A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

We are not too far from self-replicating machines controlled by AI. They will be built with a simple purpose: find resources and replicate.
Imagine a world with people trying to eliminate such machines, while machines learn new ways to get around any restrictions.
Ah the Hartz-Timor Swarm.
I was thinking of paperclips.
What do you mean by not too far? Because I can see A LOT of issues which cannot be solved easily. Even with maximum wishful thinking and a lot of handwaving that's not something that's possible even by a long shot.
Or do you mean not too far, like within the next 1000 years? Cause yeah I could believe that.
Also AI doesn't mean general intelligence, so not intelligence like human intelligence. Don't be fooled by the PR and hype going around, LLMs aren't general intelligence.
