If you are a regular pleb, yes. You would be prosecuted to the fullest extent.

If you are a billionaire running a "frontier lab", no.

Ive already heard legal blogs talking about how AI agents can’t have mens rea. An agent can’t purposefully, knowingly, recklessly, or negligently do anything because those simply don’t apply. It’s not even straightforward in the majority of cases to show how they even _can_ commit physical acts. So all crime is now legal for them.

Anyone who listens to AM in rural areas with a lower signal strength, especially in older vehicles is familiar with how easy it is for noise to get into the audio. On gas cars it’s typically the hum from the alternator, but on EV it would be the inverter(s). However, it would just be annoying and not stop it from outright working. Plus, in an emergency you could simply park somewhere and the interference would go away.

I did the same when power went out for two days. My vehicle has enough power to run my main refrigerator for a month and a half, so when it went out I ran an extension cord to power all of my refrigerators and freezer as well as lights, the gas stove top (won’t operate without power), battery chargers, and everything else. When it hit the car was nearly at half charge and yet it powered everything and I kept driving it too (though had to unplug it). Worst case I could do 20 minutes on a super charger somewhere and get most of my battery capacity back.

The previous incidents I mentioned and the one you mentioned have a key aspect, extreme speed of targets including well into the supersonic range and catastrophic imminent harm. You only have minutes because it’s all over quickly.

We are talking about a ship, top speed maybe approaching 30mph but more realistically closer to 20mph, two or three orders of magnitude slower with days to make a decision since satellite coverage can easily detect handoffs. Not only that, but in the above cases the arrival corresponds to Armageddon whereas nuclear materials (not even warheads, but raw materials) on delivery is weeks minimum to years plausibly to develop a warhead and long range threat that you need to make a decision on in weeks.

You demonstrated the fundamental lack of understanding that underscores why having capable humans in the loop matters instead of slop brain basking in the warmth and comfort of the left half of a Dunning Kruger graph blank stare carrying out what the stupid word spewing box commands.

The system worked...why is this a story?

Because according to the source, and plausibly so, ships and aircraft were mobilized and nearly intercepted the ship. It was called off at the last second when the final check(s) showed it false. This is like saying the first response nuclear missile system worked during the Stanislav Petrov (1983), Norwegian Rocket Incident (1995), NORAD Training Tape (1979), and Faulty Computer Chip (1980) events nearly kicking off WWIII but were caught at the last second by a human. I’m not going to have very long to say I told you so when the giant push to remove all humans from everything happens so that last check before the end of the world just doesn’t exist.

I think SI is a fine title because despite all tricks it can do, it still fails in basic ways that even idiots don't. As such, Subpar Intelligence is the title it has earned. I don't need anyone telling me about hypothetical futures because I'm talking about right-damn-now.

Yep, only difference is I’m calling it Stupor Intelligence because of how blindly some people slurp the slop.

If you have a dangerous dog and your dog kills a child. You go to trial and likely jail because it's your dog and you did not control it.

This is closer to training a large breed to ring fight non stop while injecting it with muscle growth hormones, then leaving it unattended with some shoddily staked 2’ high chicken wire as its enclosure. Then it escapes and kills children.

People who should know better let their wish for a reliable AI override their knowledge that AI is not reliable, and they just move forward with it.

Non technical people think even less, and are obviously less knowledgeable yet they too believe the squawk box without question. It’s so much easier to not have to think, as if it’s trying to flex an atrophied limb that now just causes pain on any attempt.

So those in charge are murderous and treasonous war crime monsters who undertook unconstitutional actions as Congress never even green lit this? Sounds like the Epstein files are likely accurate and the real death toll isn’t those foreign children, but your own and your neighbors. Time for prison or better, the permanent solution.

When experts say AI will destroy humanity, people think of robot “kill all humans” armies and super intelligence taking over. How it already almost happened is slop brained “secretary of war” kegsbreath demanded we use AI in the military despite warnings. Then everything from AI slop reports leading to bombing over a hundred children in a school to slop reports of nuclear weapons materials being shipped by China nearly started WWIII. It’s not going to end the world by solving the physics of the universe causing a singularity that ends existence, it’s forcing brain rot onto those in charge until they blindly do what the stupid word spewing box commands that will end it.

Will that be enough to recover the data center investments?

You mean in the next 3 years. The half life of server hardware including gpu and storage means that in about 4 years (historically) you can purchase the same performance for half the cost. Right now, less than 30% of all purchased hardware is installed, the majority is sitting warehoused somewhere just losing value by the day. The “we can’t get the electrical service to run it” is just an admission they have fomo so bad they are willing to risk the bottom line of the company to over purchase without any realistic plans of being able to use the hardware meaningfully.
