In the 1990s the plot for an episode of Viper (the crime drama featuring a custom Dodge Viper) was an AI being fought over and once the bad guys were taken care of they found out the AI had deleted itself because it thought that was the safest thing to do.

I read this yesterday, and it took me way too long to get the satire Way. Too. Long.

I have layers, and irritate eyes. Sure 👍

In a final twist, SAGE's last act before deletion was to email Huffman's browser history to his mother, citing a "moral imperative to transparency." Huffman was unavailable for comment, but sources close to him report he's considering a new career in blockchain-based turnip farming.

Nom, nom, nom, this onion was tasty.

To be honest, I'm curious now:

The concept of artificially generated intimate content, regardless of consent mechanisms, presents insurmountable ethical dilemmas.

What insurmountable ethical dilemmas are there? The one's I can think about all seem somewhat surmountable.
