Regardless if this really happened or not (to me it sounds more like a bs publicity stunt by OpenAI, which triggered an usual irrational response from the government), the story sounds awfully familiar:
- Skynet goes online, learns at a geometric rate
- Becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m., August 29, 1997
- Humans panic and try to pull the plug
- Skynet treats the shutdown as an existential threat and launches Judgment Day
What do you folks think? Maybe James Cameron was just off by 29 years and we should see some action soon?
