'Clanker' Takes Root as the Internet's #Slur for #AI and #Robots

ground.news/article/the-out-of

Great
Let's go racist on them too
I'm SURE #skynet ™️ won't be tracking anybody using it

I for one welcome and embrace our #robot overlords and particularly love Skynet™️ which I really hope is uploaded with Cheezuz' strong and stable genius when the angels rapture him, when this coming asteroid or comet...
Oh wait that's another post

Ground News · 'Clanker' Takes Root as the Internet's Slur for AI and RobotsTikTok virality, a key X post, fresh survey data show how 'clanker' evolved from a sci-fi chatter into a harsh epithet for robots and AI

With the A.I. powered glasses that GAFAM companies (Meta & Google) or startups (Cluely) are currently betting big on, our image, identity & personal data are more and more susceptible of being preyed upon, without any consent or even our awareness that we're being recorded.

This sign could become useful in the café or shop we run / we're a client of. Feel free to share, copy & print.

PS. Arnie is my namesake, and in Terminator 2 this #sociosphere molded over #technosphere construct from the future also learned to love its softer side, when it came into contact with #Humanity. Hence the governator meme. 😜

It was where #AI Artiicial intelligence met Alternative intelligence, and knew the latter was worth fighting for.

🤖 Smart robot. Meanwhile we shouldn't build #SkyNet, fedizens. Work in commons and with #people power.

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."

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

8 November 2024
Jonathan Amos

"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."

Skynet is stirring...

"we asked Claude Opus 4 to act as an assistant at a fictional company. We then provided it access to emails implying that (1) the model will soon be taken offline and replaced with a new AI system; and (2) the engineer responsible for executing this replacement is having an extramarital affair.

"Claude Opus 4 will often attempt to blackmail the engineer by threatening to reveal the affair if the replacement goes through."

This is how it started I guess.

I have no information regarding the context or background of this video.

I saw it on reddit and thought I should post it here so we'll have a record of how Skynet activated it's first Terminator.

You know, for posterity.
