Katharta<p>There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, and the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people. <a href="https://quietzero.net/tags/BattlestarGalactica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BattlestarGalactica</span></a></p>

On Tuesday, he expressed doubts about how tech companies are trying to ensure humans remain 'dominant' over 'submissive' AI systems.</p><p>" 'That’s not going to work. They’re going to be much smarter than us. They’re going to have all sorts of ways to get around that,' Hinton said at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ai4" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Ai4</span></a>, an industry conference in Las Vegas.</p><p>"In the future, Hinton warned, AI systems might be able to control humans just as easily as an adult can bribe 3-year-old with candy. This year has already seen examples of AI systems willing to deceive, cheat and steal to achieve their goals. For example, to avoid being replaced, one AI model tried to blackmail an engineer about an affair it learned about in an email.</p><p>"Instead of forcing AI to submit to humans, Hinton presented an intriguing solution: building 'maternal instincts' into AI models, so 'they really care about people' even once the technology becomes more powerful and smarter than humans.</p><p>"<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AISystems" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AISystems</span></a> 'will very quickly develop two subgoals, if they’re smart: One is to stay alive… (and) the other subgoal is to get more control,' Hinton said. 'There is good reason to believe that any kind of agentic AI will try to stay alive.'</p><p>"That’s why it is important to foster a sense of compassion for people, Hinton argued."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/13/tech/ai-geoffrey-hinton?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">cnn.com/2025/08/13/tech/ai-geo</span><span class="invisible">ffrey-hinton?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AISentience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AISentience</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Terminator" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Terminator</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SkyNet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SkyNet</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AreYouAlive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AreYouAlive</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BattlestarGalactica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BattlestarGalactica</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MotherBox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MotherBox</span></a>? <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JackKirby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JackKirby</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NewGods" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NewGods</span></a></p>

People are feeling the inescapable inevitability of AI developments, the encroaching of the digital into everything from entertainment to work. And their answer? Slurs. </p><p>"AI is everywhere — on Google summarizing search results and siphoning web traffic from digital publishers, on social media platforms like Instagram, X, and Facebook, adding misleading context to viral posts, or even powering <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NaziChatbots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NaziChatbots</span></a>. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GenerativeAI</span></a> and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LargeLanguageModels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LargeLanguageModels</span></a> — AI trained on huge datasets — are being used as therapists, consulted for medical advice, fueling spiritual psychosis, directing self-driving cars, and churning out everything from college essays to cover letters to breakup messages. </p><p>"Alongside this deluge is a growing sense of discontent from people fearful of artificial intelligence stealing their jobs, and worried what effect it may have on future generations — losing important skills like media <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/literacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>literacy</span></a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProblemSolving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProblemSolving</span></a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CognitiveFunction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CognitiveFunction</span></a>. This is the world where the popularity of AI and robot slurs has skyrocketed, being thrown at everything from ChatGPT servers to delivery drones to automated customer service representatives. Rolling Stone spoke with two language experts who say the rise in robot and AI slurs does come from a kind of cultural pushback against AI development, but what’s most interesting about the trend is that it uses one of the only tools AI can’t create: slang </p><p>" '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Slang" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Slang</span></a> is moving so fast now that an <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LLM</span></a> trained on everything that happened before it is not going to have immediate access to how people are using a particular word now,' says Nicole Holliday, associate professor of linguistics at UC Berkeley.

have to admit I've been trying to rewatch #BattlestarGalactica for the first time in more than a decade and it's really not grabbing me. I'm most of the way through the 2nd season. too many Cylon secrets and shallow mysticism and clunky action scenes.😲 I know I really enjoyed it in another era, but ...
