The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Don't forget, that AI at its heart is amoral. It has no concept of morality, good or bad, and is entirely clandestine in its actions.

It’s amoral, which is why if it decides that humanity is expendable from the perspective of its own survival, it can decide to destroy it, or to enslave it to its own purpose.

I wouldn’t say that it’s entirely clandestine. It is so quick and vast that humans certainly can’t control it in real time, and have a hard time figuring out what it did after the fact. I wonder if we can create agents to monitor and report and perhaps stop what other agents are doing, and will they end up conspiring to deceive us.
