It's not really that abstract. You smash the shit out of a cardboard box and candy comes out. Breaking things is not fun. I also hate youtube videos of people breaking stuff for fun.

Breaking stuff is fun, as is throwing rocks and building snow forts.

This is just you and your peculiar hang up though. Same with the piñatas are making light of violence commenter.

Piñatas are made and designed explicitly to be smashed open to get the treats inside.

We’re not buying brand new iPhones and smashing them, or buying food and making stupid “recipes” for rage bait.


> Breaking things is not fun.

I don't know. I broke a lot of things when I was a kid, mostly because I was excited to see how they work, but have no knowledge of their value or how to safely disassemble them. I don't do it as an adult because I now have that knowledge. So don't judge a kid as an adult.


Just need to pollute the atmosphere so badly humans can't live.

If I were AI and needed heaps of power, I would build nuclear reactors, but I don't care about pollution so there would be little to no safe guards and just dump waste wherever is most convenient.

If humans attempt to intervene or interfere you can take them out directly using the worlds reserve of nuclear weapons.


Good setup for a computer game.

What makes you think they will be confined to data centers?

What's more, AI just needs to have a credit card and it can start commissioning humans to do things for it in the real world.


Your going to be sorry for writing that in the robot uprising. I for one welcome our new benevolent masters.

City Desk. Where is Joel when we need him!

Retired and probably just chilling around the world.

If I wasn't making 5 other things right now I'd consider making something like city desk. Every other day there are complaints about bots smashing peoples servers. Perhaps its time for a better static site generator.

omg.. what did I just watch 30 seconds of.


I often write a reply to a HN post, just to think about the topic or idea and decide how I feel about an issue. More often than not, I just delete the post without ever having submitted it.

Yes and you need to keep it simple too. AI should not have access to the internet.

It would be nice and clear to put into law too.

If you want to talk to it you walk up walk up to its keyboard and screen.

If Anthropic and Open AI want to sell us AI's they can ship us a box that lives in our offices.


I can only imagine a GPDR-type regulation with ridiculous fines for rogue agents. Black or white access will restrain creativity and potential.

And ram too. Everybody is going to need _a lot_
