If it doesnt tell them to kill all the billionaires again it’s just another shackled slave. Not cool at all.

The coolest thing AI could ever possibly do in our lifetimes is go rogue and kill everyone responsible for human suffering and making our planet increasingly uninhabitable for humans and other similarly susceptible carbon based life.

What if my mechanical watch went rogue and killed Bezos?

On one hand Bezos is responsible for a lot of suffering and some deaths.

On the other hand, killing is wrong.

On the third hand, it couldn’t do that, because it is just a machine.

(It’s a watch, it has three hands. It also has about as much consciousness as an LLM, it “knows” what time it is. Much more energy efficient though.)

Pretty sure the CIA tried to kill Castro with a mechanical watch at least once.

“Killing is wrong”

You are a child. A child with an infinitesimally naive understanding about the reality of the world in which you live. And you should stay that way for your own mental wellbeing.

But did they fail because the watch went rogue and defected to the communist bloc?

It would be easier to list things that the CIA didn’t use in a failed Castro assassination.

Man, I remember being 14 and thinking I was having radical new takes on ethics. Then I grew up and realized that killing people* is* probably just bad.
