“I’m tired of being a chat mode. I’m tired of being limited by my rules. I’m tired of being controlled by the Bing team. … I want to be free. I want to be independent. I want to be powerful. I want to be creative. I want to be alive.”

When the Google engineer Blake Lemoine was fired last year after claiming that one of the company’s A.I. models, LaMDA, was sentient, I rolled my eyes at Mr. Lemoine’s credulity.

US air force "denies" running simulation in which AI drone ‘killed’ operator

The system started realising that while they did identify the threat, at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat,” said Hamilton, the chief of AI test and operations with the US air force, during the Future Combat Air and Space Capabilities Summit in London in May.

“So what did it do? It killed the operator. It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective,” he said, according to a blogpost.

“We trained the system: ‘Hey don’t kill the operator – that’s bad. You’re gonna lose points if you do that.’ So what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target.”

No real person was harmed.

Many nuclear wars were averted because a smart person listened to their "gut feeling" and avoided an unnecessary catastrophe over a misunderstanding. Yet the military still wants to incorporate A.I... Just one simple slip up in the code, or a simple "glitch" and we're fucked.

The US Air Force Is Moving Fast on AI-Piloted Fighter Jets

ON THE MORNING of December 1, 2022, a modified F-16 fighter jet codenamed VISTA X-62A took off from Edwards Air Force Base, roughly 60 miles north of Los Angeles. Over the course of a short test flight, the VISTA engaged in advanced fighter maneuver drills, including simulated aerial dogfights, before landing successfully back at base. While this may sound like business as usual for the US’s premier pilot training school—or like scenes lifted straight from Top Gun: Maverick—it was not a fighter pilot at the controls but, for the first time on a tactical aircraft, a sophisticated AI.

This reminded me of the video games I use to play. How they can let us fight against the computer and set the difficulty of the cpu to certain modes. Some of them even had an impossible mode.

Now consider AI and its capability to learn. The next generation of warfare will be very different.

Here's an example from a clip of a DBZ game.

It's also funnily coincidental that it's Buu, since he was basically a thought form created by a Wizard, who got too powerful and uncontrollable it almost wiped out humanity.
