General Discussion

I don't watch news and opinion videos, ever.

This current round of AI grift and hype ( there have been several previously ) will no doubt end in catastrophe but it doesn't have to be military.

Some have suggested, even here on DU, that AI would be great for managing energy grids, especially as it relates to the integration of renewable energy into these grids. That has a huge potential for catastrophe, especially if instabilities in the grid escalate to the point of destroying infrastructure that takes years to replace.

Imagine all the damage some vibe coding idiot could do to our financial sector...

Could I trick Claude into writing some virus that takes down every Windows 11 machine on the internet?

Etc.
