My best friend in high school and I have long-running debates on matters religious and political, and I have frequently caught him citing news sources that got the details wrong - so frequently that I am now in the habit of looking up (for example) Supreme-Court rulings to see what they actually say rather than what he said they say.
So now I'm skeptical again, not of Rex per se but of this story. No point in asking Rex, since he says he won't post again (heh, heh), but does anyone else know where this story may have originated? Is it in the news somewhere? --- Bob Bridges, robhbrid...@gmail.com, cell 336 382-7313 /* He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who captures a city. -Proverbs 16:32 */ -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Pommier, Rex Sent: Monday, April 10, 2023 11:13 Here's a different take on AI taking over and wiping out humanity. Last month an AI chatbox allegedly convinced a Belgian man to commit suicide after convincing him that if he "sacrificed himself", the chatbox could save mankind from climate change. Obviously the guy had other issues but somebody programmed the AI to respond in such a way to him.
