Well spotted, Timba. The truth is buried in a link to an update on a third party site. Nice clickbait from the guardian.
Skynet is real though, just running a bit behind schedule...
just running a bit behind schedule…
Well that's what it would want you to think isn't it?
Skynet has been a thing since the late sixties… granted it hadn’t started a nuclear exchange yet.
It is too busy playing noughts and crosses to start wiping out the human race just yet.
Sorry about the schedule slip everyone. My boss is nagging me too
Adam (runs a robotics + AI team)
Adam? Were you a scientist at Aberystwyth University studying genes in yeast? 🙂
EDIT better add a smiley face
I’ve heard it has been implementing videos that auto play on the net.
Skynet is too busy with other things like trying to work out if it's possible to go on holiday to Middlesbrough with gout in a boat with a goat.
We did have a robot arm(fixed base) within reach of a terminal attached to our AI training cluster. Call me paranoid, but we decided to move the keyboard _just_ out of reach. 🤣
Skynet is too busy with other things like
Lazy undergrad students asking for help for their essay on arguments for and against the existence of god and hungover best men panicking and asking for jokes to tell in their toast for the groom due in 2 hours time.
Lazy undergrad students asking for help for their essay on arguments for and against the existence of god
Sounds like the perfect place to start if you actually want to be worshipped as a god in a few generations time
Skynet is real
Sure is, I go past it every time I go down to Bath on the bus. Since 1982, IIRC.
Shame i didn't think to ask AI how to do this but it was quicker to just do it.
The road sign I posted is on the outskirts of Corsham in Wiltshire.

But why?
If you think that is bad take a read of this article on the register to see what people (well, not really people) are going to be able to start doing with public domain tools that tap into the functionality of chat GTP:
