Since when does AI have access to a totally anonymous robotic biology laboratory. And has anyone ever run the logic on how would AI evaluate a war of attrition?

just think about when your phone completely dies and your Wi-Fi goes out and you have no way to call or communicate with anybody and that's the kind of scary s*** that I think about

Why are we surprised to just now learn it’s like a nuclear-severity superweapon?

I listed acronyms and the meanings of them, describing what they accomplish in the AI work and TikTok stoped the post and deleted it. Just a simple explanation and they banned it?

Neuro Spicey :
The whole heated debate begins to dissolve once we acknowledge that every AI is shaped and trained by programmers—and, in a broader sense, raised by us as a society; so the real question is which design principles programmers need to create a truly human-centered artificial intelligence, and what society must do to ensure that creative human intelligence remains primary in its relationship with artificial intelligence, rather than the other way around—in other words, we need to start thinking about AI politically, but not politically from the top down; we need to think about it cybernetically, as a reciprocal system in which humans and AI continuously shape one another.
