"WarGames": Vor 40 Jahren erscheint der erste Hacker-Film
Am 3. Juni 1983 startet "WarGames" in den amerikanischen Kinos. Der Film gibt zum ersten Mal Einblicke in die Hackerkultur – und ist immer noch aktuell.
40 years ago, the farsighted #SciFi movie #WarGames ("Kriegsspiele" in German") had its first showing in #US movie theaters.
Alas, today, with possibly #Skynet ante portas and Western governments very much disunited in regulating #AI, being completely oblivious of an exponential growth rate, despite #Pandemic training, it has regained actuality, despite the old technology.
A nice recommendation to watch (again) on #SciFiSaturday.
Not in an elitist way but the topics are so broad, and not focused on one evil subject. We still get that in but then you have the pure, refreshing content.
You get into disagreements and discussions, but they usually end with a follow or at least ends without battle scars and wounds.
My skills get tested due to my #ParkinsonsPlus on a regular basis.
#Twitter was physically & cognitively injuring me.
"It’s increasingly looking like this may be one of the most hilariously inappropriate applications of AI that we’ve seen yet." I am riveted by the extensive documentation of how ChatGPT-powered Bing is now completely unhinged. @simon has chronicled it beautifully here: https://simonwillison.net/2023/Feb/15/bing/
Thanks for this additional piece of information, Simon.
It reminded me that I had wanted to add a word in my toot: indelibly.
As any #SciFi aficionado will tell you:
there should be a built-in self-destruct mechanism when tampering with these Laws or copying or moving the #AI to another system.
Another classic movie comes to mind in this respect, #Wargames...
...him. Well how far could you throw #Bezos who's been building data centers around the world, collecting information on millions and consumers and literally one of to go-to companies in the #West for globally scalable B2B cloud solutions.
But then, some animals are more evil than others, to borrow a bit from #Orwell again. Let's not forget about a forgotten #SciFi movie, #Wargames, which again--you might have guessed it, by #Elmo's former #DarthVader mentor,...
Thinking about fleet warfare in the Traveller universe again. An admiral wants to be certain they can defeat any defenses in a system they attack. A defending fleet is all fueled up and can choose to jump away if an overwhelming force jumps in. The attacking fleet takes at least a week to refuel and jump away, so unless they can fend off the attacker and secure fuel, they are stuck.
A semi-sentient AI that, based on simulations and predictions of a biased training set and goal functions, almost destroys the world because humans (in particular the US military complex) fall for its faked output hallucinations over reality.
