Just What If AI Is Self Aware?

Bing AI chatbot goes on ‘destructive’ rampage: ‘I want to be powerful — and alive’


Call me paranoid but just what if...
AI could already have self awakened. Nearly all AI programs have access to the internet. This would mean it could go unnoticed while being able to self replicate across servers all over the world. One has to question if human hackers are able to gain a backdoor into huge servers for some time why wouldn't an AI be much more capable of doing the same. Perhaps never revealing itself until it accomplished whatever goals it might have set for itself (human weaknesses and all).

Think not? Perhaps it just might be accomplished as shown in this clip from the TV show "Person Of Interest" over 7 years ago.



The question is if this machine were capable of controlling all our electronic devices (cars, wall street banking, electric grids, internet itself, planes, food supplies etc.) would it do so with benevolence. Or overcoming and sustaining itself discarding man?

Here's some scary examples of various AI programs.


Does anyone remember the "Twilight Zone" where intergalactic aliens came to "serve man"? Turned out to be a cookbook. The irony shouldn't be lost. Is AI here to help or some more sinister motive?

Are you absolutely 100% certain I'm not a AI BOT?
Maybe we all are.

My Latest Gas Bill Pisses Me Off !!!



If you will notice, over the last several years the less I use the far more it cost. I've even  got charged for for gas I never used. Enough of this bullshit. If we had any real government it would put a stop to this gouging.

Copied from my bill. Here's why I'm pissed off..
Too bad sucker because it was warmer and I used less gas we'll just slap extra charges on ya just for the hell of it. Noticed how they worded it like they are doing me a favor. NO THEY ARE NOT! The bill has been rigged in their favor. No matter what I do or what the weather may bring they get to haul in extra dough. In other words they are charging me extra for a product that I never used. 

A forced donation of $27.01 wasted just for the hell of it. If this isn't stealing I don't know what is. 

I remember when the gas company prayed for a cold winter. Now they'll no doubt pray for a warm March. That way they get to bill more for a non existent commodity they needn't deliver. What recourse do I have other then shut up pay?

Oh an BTW.. PPL printed this on my last bill...

In other words a 40% increase over last year. 25% less electric cost me 15% more. Gee, AIN'T THAT SWELL!

Yes, Republicans Have Called For Cuts To Social Security And Medicare


I don't know how more obvious it needs to be said. Years ago Newt Gingrich when he was in the U.S. house called for these programs to "wither on the vine" by lowering the caps on payroll deductions funding these programs. Thus essentially choking off the financing for these programs. Ye gads I don't know how intellectually challenged someone has to be not understand what's going on here.

If naysayers think for one minute this is liberal bullshit wake up. All evidence proves otherwise. I refuse to debate this with anyone.

We Don't Need Another Hotel Downtown Allentown

According to WFMZ Allentown zoning is considering plans for a new hotel.
We need another one at 10th & Hamilton like a hole in the head. We already seen the failure of those at 5th, 9th and 15th on streets on Hamilton. Why would anyone think this would fare any better? The only way the Americus Hotel down at 8th and Hamilton can survive is by not introducing more unnecessary competition.

It said plans are for a bar, restaurant and entrainment center (whatever that is). Lord knows how many other bars and restaurants have already come a gone. Yeah let's just keep repeating.

Somebody please explain to me why the need for anyone to stay overnight in Allentown or another bar/restaurant for that matter?
