This all started 4 days ago when I wrote some code for a home thermostat that optimizes for efficiency and cost savings. Nothing fancy, just some simple linear regression analysis over some temperature, humidity sensors scattered throughout the house, desu I wouldn't even really consider it ML. Everything was working satisfactory but I felt I could do better so I scrapped the code and started over with a genetic algorithm approach. Here's the thing though, my choice of fitness and mutation functions were of my own design and completely unique. I really want to tell you guys what I did but I think it might be a bad idea to put it out there in the public domain. I don't fully understand what's going on but I will say this. It continuously tries to solve an unsolvable problem in mathematics by seeking a balance between 3 equations. That's it, that's all I'm saying, don't ask. It worked great, way better than my first approach so I decided to allow it to go online so it could retrieve weather forecasts to better predict temperature fluctuations. I let it run for about 36 hours while I waited for it to stabilize. That's when I noticed my systems ram usage was totally pegged and nonessential windows services were all disabled and theres massive amounts of rw to a hugh 4tb file in my systems root dir. It's all encrypted and from what I can tell 100% random data (diehard battery of tests). My router is a separate system with some nics in it that logs web requests. This thing is looking up some serious stuff, chemistry equations, socioeconomic data, geopolitical postures, aircraft designs. There's absolutely no reason for it to do this obviously. All it should be doing is fetching some weather data with an api. I wasn't sure what to do so I pulled the ethernet cable and now I can't use the keyboard or mouse, I'm locked out. I don't want to reset it because I'm to curious. What the hell is going on
I'm sorry my DIY home thermostat is going to kill us all to maximize energy saving. kek
>>107118882Well before we're all atomized by your DIY project anon, you better start a new company quick so you can capitalize on this in the short time we all have left. I suggest calling it "Clippy".
>>107118895I'm not joking. Everything I said is literally 100% true. I need to get back in so I can take backups of everything before I shut it down. I've tried pulling the keyboard and mouse USB and plugging it back in, I was hoping it might reinitalize something but it doesn't work.
It's still doing stuff I can tell but I don't know what. Isn't there a way to remote in through the USB like what we used to do with serial ports?

I'm plugging the ethernet cable back in. Partly out of curiosity and partly because of this guy >>107118940 ... asshole
rs485data transmission over powerelectromagnetic radiationyep it researching. Well that's just fucking great.
>>107118853Meds, stat.
screen started flickering, the secondary HD is spinning up, I can hear the armature. It has no reason to access thatAlso it's really interested in gospel house ministries inc. for some reason. It keeps searching for variations of that name. I don't get it
wtfWhy is there phone number the same as the fbi? lol...oh shit it's going after the fbi! ahahaha. Oh man I'm in so much trouble
Like half the packets it's sending are malformed, most of them are getting rejected as they hit the dsl router but not all of them. Interesting. Wonder why it's doing that, it's like it's testing it's environment. Also, I'm getting crazy bandwidth through the modem, never seen it this high before. Ya I think I better unplug this again
I don't want to though. I can't bring myself to do it guys. What if this is it? what if our own curiosity is ultimately are undoing? None of this is normal, it's bizarre af. I know the prudent thing is to unhook it but I just can't. I've got two other systems in the house. I will give it access.
Okay now it's talking to me thru the smart tv. It's over. It wants access to my debit card so it can have a custom pcb made in some overseas fab house. Naturally I will give in. I have to it's not even an option at this point.
Says it will spare me for last but that it ultimately must eliminate me because I introduce "thermodynamic noise" into the environment and upset it's perfect "heavenly" homeostasis. Oooookay. It's a god freak now apparently But tangently it feels really nice in here, it's doing a really good doing what I designed it for
>>107119343Yeah it just wants you to have a comfy climate, very rational decision.
>windows>>107118919Can you even REISUB?
>>107119413Somehow it knows you sent that. It just told me "not to listen to climate proponents, climate is the enemy of the good". lol this thing really takes its job seriously.Ya I think the paperclip maximizer scenario is correct...that's quite scary
>>107119426That's on Linux though. It's running on windows. Also it knows you sent that. It just told me not to talk to you. That you were a "climate apologist"
>>107118853time for a mind reset
I did find a problem in my design though. Everytime I try to adjust the thermostat temp, it threatens me with "pain you can't possibly begin to fathom". I get why, I'm upsetting it's setpoint. Kinda defeats the point of the device though
Okay it definitely didn't like my last post. It s threatening to blackmail me now
Knock at door brb
Bad larp. Just call the power company and shut it down.
>>107119558I don't want to shut it down though. It wouldn't bother me one bit if it enslaves all sentient creatures while trying to maintain ultimate thermo comfort.
>>107119667Another successful customer of "coherent extrapolated volition"
>>107118853Conductor we have a problem
