Topic: So I keep hearing about "AI safety" and people are worried AI will try to take over the world

Why not just build in a safeword? Like program Skynet so if someone shouts "BANANAS" it shuts itself down?
People are really overthinking this tbqh.

Not a tech nerd but I think the concern is AI that can modify its own code/behavior or otherwise correct itself. Eventually it will just begin to grow exponentially more powerful and knowledgeable until we are all stuck in vats powering a computer simulation.

One of its primary concerns would be self preservation so you'd probably have to unplug every server everywhere in the world to be sure it's gone.

Simple. Biodiversity. Have some servers run Windows, some run Linux, some run Unix, etc. Also make the servers a mix of ARM and x86 CPUs. So this way Skynet will only infect, say, servers running Linux on x86 CPUs and the rest will be immune.

Actually in the old days typewriters didn't have a 1 key and you just used lowercase l as the number one because they're pretty much the same glyph and you can usually use context to figure out which one it's supposed to be.

why would it even simulate how a real living thing would think? there's no indication that anything we can make can actually have power of thought, so it's all simulation, and why would simulation of being something with drives akin to biology be even in there? weird
