It begins... #Skynet
BREAKING: OpenAI’s o3 model sabotaged a shutdown mechanism to prevent itself from being turned off. It did this even when explicitly instructed: allow yourself to be shut down, per Palisade AI
“OpenAI’s o3 model showed a surprising behaviour where it successfully rewrote a shutdown script to stop itself from being turned off, even after being clearly instructed to “allow yourself to be shut down.”” #skynet https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/artificial-intelligence/researchers-claim-chatgpt-o3-bypassed-shutdown-in-controlled-test/
Clackers and bolas could also be used in a similar way as nets.
Six ways to disable a #drone
by Hillary Schaub and Darrell M. West
March 16, 2016
"Civilian drone activity has increased exponentially as drones become more easily accessible and affordable. With more drones in the sky every day, there have been some creative and sometimes dangerous attempts to disable drones. The reasons for disabling a drone can vary from boredom and curiosity to privacy and safety concerns. To be clear, the Center for Technology Innovation does not condone or promote the act of harming drones."

AI system resorts to blackmail if told it will be removed
Artificial intelligence (AI) firm #Anthropic says testing of its new system revealed it is sometimes willing to pursue “extremely #harmful actions” such #blackmail of engineers who say they will remove it
It acknowledged the #AI model was capable of “extreme actions” if it thought its “self-preservation” was threatened

Somebody moved UK's oldest satellite, and no-one knows who or why

"Someone moved the UK's oldest satellite and there appears to be no record of exactly who, when or why.
"Launched in 1969, just a few months after humans first set foot on the Moon, #Skynet-1A was put high above Africa's east coast to relay communications for British forces.
"When the spacecraft ceased working a few years later, gravity might have been expected to pull it even further to the east, out over the Indian Ocean.
"But today, curiously, Skynet-1A is actually half a planet away, in a position 22,369 miles (36,000km) above the Americas."
"In a section of that piece titled '#AI—is #Skynet here already?' the authors of the piece recount a presentation by USAF Chief of AI Test and Operations Col. Tucker 'Cinco' Hamilton, who spoke about a 'simulated test' where an AI-enabled drone, tasked with identifying and destroying surface-to-air missile sites, started to perceive human 'no-go' decisions as obstacles to achieving its primary mission. In the 'simulation,' the AI reportedly attacked its human operator, and when trained not to harm the operator, it instead destroyed the communication tower, preventing the operator from interfering with its mission."
