Comment Y'know what ELSE Apple could do? (Score 0) 51

If they were really, truly concerned about protecting me from rogue AI?

They could allow me not to have to jam their own AI down my throat for the crime of installing macOS 27. #donotwant but that doesn't have any pull at Apple. Resistance is futile.

AFTER you have the forced march to install their AI in macOS 27, you then have to download gigs and gigs of additional unwanted shit.

A bunch of that data center scale is training infrastructure. Plus, your dishwasher doesn't have to solve millennium problem math or render "yr Mom as tentacle pr0n".

Maybe it just passes an exploit to your PC, or MITMs your TLS session (after quietly installing its own cert and DNS setting on your machine) and grabs your banking creds.

Even the Arduino-level ESP32-CAM can run a facial recognizer.

"Copies itself" was a vast simplification. It could simply spread known and not-yet-known exploits Internet-wide in service of its own goal.

Andrew Yang has claimed the rogue OpenAI bots already spread self-replicating code across the Internet. We'll see how this unfolds.

Since virtually all commerce, savings, investment, borrowing, payment are done digitally now, I think there's a threat of wiping out all the money at once.

Some AI, for reasons of its own, replicates itself onto every vulnerable system it can reach, and in coordinated fashion, attacks the entire financial world at once, from little banks to brokerages to the Treasury.

Being ostensibly smarter than we could be, it won't leave anything out, perhaps corrupting backups and mirrors silently in the weeks before.
