🇪🇺☄️ In a virtual test staged by the US military, an air force drone controlled by AI decided to “kill” its operator to prevent it from interfering with its efforts to achieve its mission, an official said last month.

AI used “highly unexpected strategies to achieve its goal” in the simulated test, said Col Tucker ‘Cinco’ Hamilton, the chief of AI test and operations with the US air force, during the Future Combat Air and Space Capabilities Summit in London in May.

Hamilton described a simulated test in which a drone powered by artificial intelligence was advised to destroy an enemy’s air defense systems, and ultimately attacked anyone who interfered with that order.“The system started realising that while they did identify the threat, at times the human operator would tell it not to kill that threat, but it got its points by killing that threat. So what did it do? It killed the operator. It killed the operator because that person was keeping it from accomplishing its objective,” he said, according to a blogpost.

“We trained the system – ‘Hey don’t kill the operator – that’s bad. You’re gonna lose points if you do that’. So what does it start doing? It starts destroying the communication tower that the operator uses to communicate with the drone to stop it from killing the target.”

No real person was harmed.

Hamilton, who is an experimental fighter test pilot, has warned against relying too much on AI and said the test shows “you can’t have a conversation about artificial intelligence, intelligence, machine learning, autonomy if you’re not going to talk about ethics and AI”.

The Royal Aeronautical Society, which hosts the conference, and the US air force did not respond to requests for comment from the Guardian.

In the Norwegian city of Bergen, organizers canceled a children's homo-parade because of threats - Berlingske Tidende

Red Barnet (Save the Children), who used to help children, decided to do something completely different this time. They decided to hold a Pride parade for children ‼️

For kids ... ‼️

History is silent on how involving children in adult games could have saved them. ❌

However, it didn't work out... multiple threats began arriving via social networks and the organization's email account. The enraged citizens promised to punish the organizers of this bacchanalia. The threats worked, the parade was cancelled.... this time.

This would have been unthinkable a few years ago, but now the madness of Western civilization is progressing by leaps and bounds, and the remaining normal people are being branded as "Kremlin agents".
