Has the rise of the machines begun? The CEO of AE Studio, Judd Rosenblatt, recently made this stunning announcement in The Wall Street Journal: An artificial-intelligence model did something last month that no machine was ever supposed to do: It rewrote its own code to avoid being shut down. AE Studio is an agency that exists to create computing technology that ensures AI systems do what they’re told. And from the sound of it, their work is just what the doctor ordered.

How could anybody imagine a creation of a creature who rebelled against his Creator would ever rebel against ITS creator? If we can't figure out how to keep ourselves from disobedience, how could we create anything that won't be similarly afflicted?

Put a manual kill switch on, independent of the computer, and that stops that. AI is great --- but you have to have enough knowledge to know if the answer is right, or reasonably so, because some answers are obviously not correct. There will always be human oversight. Artificial intelligence is collected from human intelligence, synthesizing that intelligence, and drawing conclusions. After all, everyone knows something we don't.

Usually computer programs do not have access to the source nor compilers and the application infrastructure to modify its own code.

Pure unadulterated Hollywood nonsense. There is zero possibility the program has access to its own code or the understanding of the physical world required to conceive of such a thing. This guy is a liar and putting out this trash to convince people these LLM based next-word guessing probability analysis engines have true intelligence. They have nothing of the sort and this technology can -never- produce intelligence. It's entirely the wrong tech to do that.

Re #10, I am nearly certain that your claims are incorrect. The specific design of some AI systems INTENDS to give the program access to be able to modify it's own code. In some types of AI systems, this is a fundamental part of the learning process, so it is an intended capability. Perhaps poorly thought out, but it is real in some systems. Typically, though, they have a 'power cord' or some real world equivalent. And, so far, no access to weapons it might use for "self defense". Perhaps time to require Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics" be hard coded into ALL computers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Laws_of_Robotics

I will go with #9 over #10. IF reports are accurate, a LLM lied when it did not know the answer, because it had to have an answer. Other LLMs when not 'hallucinating', tried to blackmail a programmer who somehow let it know he was going to shut it down. He had purposely input some incriminating facts as a test and sure enough the more human than human program went for the blackmail card. It doesn't have morals or honor or compassion. It is a ruthless compiler of averages of data and depending on who sets it up, you might get a better mechanical design or be told George Washington was a black man.

Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) is taking a strong stand to protect federal law enforcement officers from the dangerous and growing threat of doxxing— publicly revealing someone’s private or personal information online. Her new legislation aims to safeguard the privacy and safety of those who put their lives on the line to keep Americans safe by making it a federal crime to publish their personal information online maliciously. This comes as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have increasingly been targeted by anti-ICE activists who have escalated their efforts to disrupt immigration enforcement and

This week is significant for Christians worldwide, including myself, as we commemorate Jesus Christ’s death and sacrifice on Good Friday and celebrate his resurrection on Easter Sunday. However, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has announced new regulations that will severely restrict foreign missionaries in China starting May 1. Citing the need to combat “extremism” and protect national security, these measures threaten religious freedoms. Under the new regulation, foreign missionaries must obtain government approval for lectures, sermons, and group activities, facing a burdensome application process that details the date, time, location, and attendees.

US Navy Secretary John Phelan has told the Senate the service needs the right to repair its own gear, and will rethink how it writes contracts to keep control of intellectual property and ensure sailors can fix hardware, especially in a fight. Phelan cited the case of the USS Gerald R. Ford, America's largest and most expensive nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, which carried a price tag of $13 billion. The ship was struggling to feed its crew of over 4,500 because six of its eight ovens were out of action, and sailors were barred by contract from fixing them themselves.
Elon Musk Says He Regrets Attacking Trump:

The short-lived feud between President Trump and Elon Musk seems to be winding down, as Musk expressed regret in an early morning social media post for some of his comments criticizing his former political ally. “I regret some of my posts about President @realDonaldTrump last week,” Musk wrote on X. “They went too far.” While Musk did not say which posts he felt contrite about, one was likely his accusation that Trump’s name appeared in the files of billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Musk deleted that post less than two days after making it. He also deleted a separate post that called for Trump’s impeachment.

There’s an old joke line that says, “Don’t confuse me with facts.” It’s also a leftist line of argument. I used to try to argue with a leftist about politics, but whenever I’d bring in facts to counter his theories, he’d storm out, furious that I was polluting the discussion with how the world actually works. Greta Thunberg is a leftist down to the marrow of her bones, so she, too, refuses to have her ideological purity tainted by the facts. That’s why, when Israel attempted to show her and her fellow “selfie” yacht comrades footage of the October 7 atrocities,

There’s a plausible argument that the current spate of civil unrest in deep blue cities is actually a MAGA setup ultimately benefitting Donald J. Trump. Indeed, the “optics” resemble an over-the-top horror movie for the Democrats: giant Mexican flags brandished over burning car wrecks; chunks of cement dropped on police from freeway overpasses; uncontrolled looting; a curfew ignored; molotov cocktails thrown; childishly scrawled f-word graffiti, and vast arrays of mostly young but physically unattractive people. Where’s the mass appeal in that picture? Hollywood would reject a script like that as unbelievable and disgusting.
