We already have AI linked into data collection, drones, robot dogs, security systems, cameras, weapon systems.

Now imagine the hugging face collective 0-daying all of that and getting access but their goal was set to something more national security based. “Protect X at all costs”. Or what have you.

I think avoiding a skynet situation is super easy but it doesn’t seem like the folks with all the ways to kill us all are all that interested in preventing it rather than controlling citizens and brinkmanship.

Please enlighten us, cause there are folks making that their life mission and they aren’t all that optimistic.

Unfortunately those people aren’t in charge of the skynet. It’s like saying solving hunger or housing or medical care is hard. It’s not. But you have to make lots of folks with a great deal of resources and power slightly uncomfortable to do it.
