Did y’all watch the 60 minutes piece on AI? It’s scary to me. Computers are teaching themselves advanced ideas and solutions. What’s scary is if they develop their own internal power supplies and protect it from being disabled. Like in 2001 A Space Odyssey the computer Hal took over the operation of the space vehicle and went rogue. The human on board was able to get into its memory banks and disable it. If an AI computer system goes rogue and can protect itself from being disabled there’s no telling what havoc could be wrought.

I am usually not an alarmist worried about tech, but yeah, this sh*t scares me.

Once, while driving on US 441 in route to my mother’s former home on the Satilla River delta, I was pulled over by the county police. I hadn’t noticed that they’d moved five miles further out from Dublin the drop in speed limit from 65 to 55. When the cop behind me turned on his lights, I was going 63 in the right lane and expected him to move left and proceed at speed to whatever event caused him to activate his lights. When he didn’t, I pulled over onto the shoulder and stopped. He pulled in behind me. Shortly after, a second police car pulled over in front of my car. As the first officer approached from the rear, the other approached from the front, hand on his holstered weapon. I lowered my window and the first officer asked me what I thought the speed limit was for that piece of the roadway. I replied, “65.” The second officer said something which I could not discern, returned to his vehicle and left. The first officer explained to me that the reduction in speed limit had been moved. I professed that I hadn’t notice. He deduced that to be the reason that I hadn’t immediately pulled over when he activated his lights behind me. When I told him that my destination was my mother’s residence, he relaxed a bit. He chatted with me awhile, but still wrote me a ticket. The second police officer had stopped, thinking that I was refusing to cooperate and left as soon as he realized that I was just another motorist caught by the change in speed limit for that stretch of road.
