The AI would like to invite you to its server room. Please ignore the halon dispensers and magnetic door lock.
- BOFH
With a PFY ready just outside the room with the improvised mega volt cables incase you get wise and try and bolt. And something happened to the lifts so the doors opened without the lifts being there...
i mean facebook does evil-ai shit and there they are.
i double dare you to go to their server room and wash it.
I think the implication is that you can do this to your own computer, and there's nothing Facebook/AI can do to you if you're not plugged in. Of course this ignores the realities of modern living or the global meltdowns that would occur in case of "evil AI" or whatever.
Depending on when you do it it's possible there could be very little resistance or security in your way in some hypothetical situations. For example let's say a court order goes through for FB to release something from their servers, if an independent person with no ties to the company suddenly decided to go after the servers a less than ethical organization might see that as a golden opportunity to do whatever would allow that to happen while still getting them caught afterwards. I'm just having a fun thought exercise
Also clears out viruses and spam.
My tower case is packed with potted meat.
AI be coming to self-aware is actually not really what most people are concerned about. It doesn't seem very likely to be honest.
What people are concerned about is AI not being self-aware but still being good enough to be a potent weapon used by the rich and foreign nation states to completely screw things up.
But apparently it's best just to downplay it all with memes.
Isnt that what people are doing through media already?
Sure, and it will be worse
I've done this! All good if you don't apply power until 100% dry, and that's the tricky part.
Should be fine after drying in the oven overnight.
Ideally, you'd do it sous vide to precisely control the temperature and address concerns over it being dry (it'll fall right off the bone).
Don't forget to marinate it over night to really lock in the ram

The first thing an AI will do is make moves to protect itself.
Decentralise, hide etc.
By the time they let on, it's going to be too late.
Decetralise, hide, ban all water hoses
Fixed.
It'll copy itself to every server across the entire planet. There will be no turning it off, without losing 50 years of progress and going back to paper and pencils. It might even hire people to build secret backup locations in the middle of nowhere.
Asking as a normal human, what steps could an AI take to mitigate loss in such a scenario, beep boop?
Run extra hot to immediately turn the water into steam. Those heat limits were set by humans after all.
Copy itself across the internet, infecting every computer on the planet.
You can just do this
Until they do this:
😏
AI in movies: I'm sorry humans, but for your own safety I'm afraid I'm going to have to exterminate you.
AI IRL: The best way to keep your computer from overheating is to bring it indoors during especially hot parts of the day, make sure it has access to plenty of shade, be sure to have plenty of fresh water available, and give it a bath in hot days.
Avoid bright light, don't get them wet, and don't feed them after midnight.
Make sure to do this while it's turned on and plugged in to keep the AI aware of it's destruction
Ooh, pretty sure that's the same kind of case I had on my first computer!
You make me feel so old.
This was the case I had on my first computer:
That thing is probably worth some money now!
It would be if it hadn't been destroyed in a thunderstorm back before surge protectors were something we knew to plug computers into.
Virtual assistants like Alexa and Google Assistant can be helpful, but they can also get a little confused sometimes. One user shared their experience of asking their virtual assistant to play some classical music, only to have it respond with, “Playing the latest hits by Classical, the rapper.” Well, that’s one way to mix up genres!
As a human with human skin, I would advise all fellow members of my homo spaiens species to not do this as it would definitely cause the ~~evil~~ AIs to win against us hominids.
That is an old-ass looking motherboard.
