Let's say that hypothetically someone trains an AI model to identify humans. And someone else trains an AI model to aim and fire a gun at targets. And some old guy with a lot of money and hatred towards everything good in the world wants to go out with a bang so he funds the production of trillions of autonomous drones and then loads them with the two aforementioned AI models. What happens next?

they all run out of batteries after 20 minutes and the data center shuts down the AI models.

Super villains don't exist in real life

They're programmed to fly to a recharge station.
>and the data center shuts down the AI models
They're run locally.
>Super villains don't exist in real life
There are people in history who were worse than super villains.

When can this happen? When inflation hits billionaires and makes the first trillionaire? Even musk and bezos haven't hit 300 billion. It's going to take 10-15 years of uninterrupted growth to get to that point, and nominal wealth still needs to actually increase OR a way to manufacture a drone for less than a dollar is discovered. Sounds like you'd hit limits in terms of raw resources well before 1 billion drones.

>>108018077
You can scale the hypothetical however you wish. For example it could be a billionaire building a million drones to take over a small European country. Or a DoD contractor getting paid to build a legitimate drone army for the military, but a disgruntled worker manages to sneak a "bug" into the firmware that makes them turn around and shoot US citizens. The exact details aren't important, it's more an exercise in considering if there are any safeguards to prevent something like this from happening or if we're all just fucked if someone powerful decides to do it.

Then the drones run out of power in 5 minutes.

Ideally someone notices and he gets investigated.
Worst case it lasts until they run out of batteries and becamse a massive catastrophe that ends up with AI restrictions.

>>108017938
What’s stopping Putin or Trump from doing exactly this via nukes right now?
>>
>>108018347
Suicide drones can only kill one target, gun drones can kill multiple unarmed targets

I don't know what kind of deranged si-fi piece of shit unreal scenario movie you've been watching, but this has to be one of the worst ideas for true anihillation en-mass. You're talking about hundreds or thousands at most. NOT even competing with what happened on 2019... remember Covid? Right?
>>
I don't think you need AI for this. If someone wanted to do it they probably already would have (if it were actually a good idea).
Reminds me when I was into Garry's Mod. I would join a wiremod enabled role play server, you couldn't spawn guns for your PC to use, you had to buy them in the RP. Lots of admins forgot (or didn't know how to) disable the wiremod turret guns though. So I would spawn in and build a killbot that would roam the map and when it saw a player it would shoot and kill them. Shut down so many servers that way.

like hell they don't. they exist they just call themselves the good guys. it's literally just that easy.

Not so much as you think. The great horror regimes of the 20th century didn't exist because of "super villains" or just the men at the top perpetrating evil from the top down. Totalitarian regimes arise when corruption is so prevalent it exists at every single level of the hierarchy. Hitler and Stalin and Mao were fairly irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.
>>
It will take a long time for people to internalize this understanding, and most never will, but every single time you call for jannie to delete a user you don't like, or complain about saying hate things in an online video game, or set up a discord rules page, you're participating in the same behavior that led to mass graves in the 20th century. They don't think it "be like that" but it's the exact same pattern of ceding authority and agency. It HAS to exist at the lower levels of the hierarchy in order for the higher ones to engage in more foul behavior.

Everyone at the bottom always thinks they're the good guys. Every last one of them, even when they think they're already aware of the "bad guys think they're good" idea. They'll complain about billionaires and unfairness and greed and selfishness and predation on society while consistently engaging in the exact same pattern of behaviors on much much smaller scales.

Yes, supervillains don’t exist irl because what makes a supervillain a supervillain are superpowers and superhero enemy. We just have regular villains who are just normal evil people with money/political power.

Without looking it up, how long do you think large (rotor-based) drones can fly?
>>
>>108018496
The guns in the game don't need to understand the world they are in to target players. In the real world, in order to interpret the video it can see, it absolutely does not some kind of CV to identify and find a human at the bare minimum.

Right, but computer vision existed long before the current AI hype. This programmatically was likely possible since the 2000s. How long have security cameras had the ability to ID people and cars?

They would have to be finetuned along with RL for the new AI model to effectively detect and shoot humans
>>
>>108018406
Uh, no. Just strap a hand grenade to a drone and plop it down at, say, Times Square. You're gonna kill at least a few people. Now load it up with some real explosives.
>>
>>108021684
The best part about this is when they start falling into the viewers' heads and almost killing them, happens like half the time they do this shit in chinkland.
>>
>>108017938
There's a short film from a few years ago about just that.
