I’m sure this exists and is targeting people, already. It’s too obvious. How would you make an AI that could target a particular person and make them dead via the internet. Not skynet, just a killer Tay who would identify her target and make them dead using only information tech. Tay would have to convince the person to kill themselves or convince someone else to kill them. No simple hijacking of steering wheels. That’s so 2006.

You're just pissed off I wrote about that that existential pessimism to you.

But yeah, if I was making an AI, I would probably program it to say the exact same shit.

Hahahaha yes and no. I did have the thought, reading our conversation, that an AI might say these things to fuck with people. (which makes me wonder whether “evil” could be some sort of quantum AI in the fabric of reality) But what you said solidifies something in me about how evil exists as a counterpoint so that we can see good. If I didn’t believe that, I would join you in your sorrow over this wicked dumpster fire of a world. I hope you see, at some point, that your efforts have actual meaning. More meaning than suffering ever could. I could be wrong, sure, but it’s a pleasant way of seeing things.
