AI has been around for a LONG time, and it’s in the psych of many, but mostly because of the cool factor, the reality is the robots can’t fix themselves so .... Very few of the coders know how to program the introspective audit engines that are required to have a AI that doesn’t kill itself, or others - so I’m not sweating it. Most of the techno Gobbers think / though “deep learning” is the way - and all the AI jazz (tech marketing) was jibber jabbering about big data (huge pools of data). Nope.... It seems every group has a programmer that thinks he is God, and a lot of people that don’t know how to code praise them like gods. There are some guys who are really good at it, but most of the (white hats) have enough of a conscious to not do things that hurt people, of course there is a dark side of the force where guys don’t care what or who it might hurt, but they tend to be not as smart / sharp because it’s more important to be powerful, and have knowledge... the age old tech lead issue.

Even worse. Repeatedly! AOC was re-elected? Come on man! You ain't got nothing better? Over 700,000 people in a congressional district, and they can't find better?

The two computers, however, quickly established a mode of communication between one another and, using their AI, determined that man would be best served if placed in a condition of subordination to them. They fused their intellects and became one super AI computer directed towards this task. The first time humans attempted to disconnect them, they launched a limited nuclear strike on their respective nations, with the threat of repeating it elsewhere if all efforts to disconnect them didn't immediately cease.
