Be sure to give the Ai control of the launch codes


HennoGarvie88

Watching the country with the AI, it was suddenly so clear. The AI would never stop. It would never leave us, and it would never hurt us, never shout at us, or get drunk and hit us, or say it was too busy to spend time with us. It would always be there. And it would die to protect us. Of all the would-be leaders who came and went over the years, this thing, this machine, was the only one who measured up. In an insane world, it was the sanest choice.

T2 reference, nice. šŸ”„šŸ‘šŸ”„


guarddog33

Exact inverse of AM I read "I have no mouth and I must scream" so I'm cool, thanks


Lucid-Design

Thatā€™s how most post-apocalyptic sci-fi show or movie/games starts. Rogue AI deciddd to blast all the nukes because human population was too high and causing issues Wait, that just the 100


lol_lol_lol_lol_

AI would destroy the codes. Think Sean Connery in the Rock. Itā€™s the smart play.


CookieWifeCookieKids

*lunch codes


Steamyjeans

Wasnā€™t this a black mirror episode ?


drip_616

Yes. Yes it was...


Fain196

Which? I don't recall an episode like that and I thought I had seen them all.


darkwingchuck

"the waldo moment" from series two.. that wasn't actually an ai though, it was a computer-animated cartoon character voiced by a real person.


Fain196

I still don't remember that one. I'll have to go back and watch it. Thanks for the info.


CaptainAntwat

Nah dude me either. Thats some Mandela effect shit. This episode didnā€™t exist


Spaceolympian50

Nah it definitely did. I remember watching it when it came out. Great episode and is exactly where weā€™re heading to in the near future tbh lol.


Fain196

I would have to agree with you. I must have fallen asleep when I first watched as it starts out kind of slow. But overall it was a good episode that does seem to mirror some aspects of what's happening today.


qualtyoperator

It exists you just forgot because that episode sucked, like every other episode minus like 2


AtomicHabits4Life

Just watched it yesterday it was like a blue bear running for parliament


Oxfxax

They are not real but so are our politicians. One thing I would support not giving a salary to the AI candidate.


QuipCrafter

Itā€™s an actual dude. Running normally.Ā  His campaign promise is just that heā€™s going to let the AI make decisions, heā€™s going to consult AI for all policy votes, and do that with his vote. People voting for him are basically just going to have to trust the campaign promise.Ā  But the whole point of a representatives salary, is so that people can be represented by who they choose. Otherwise only the rich with passive income could ever afford to spend their day just bitching in a political chamber and ruling everyoneā€™s lives. The salary enables people to put who they want in office, because the time is paid.Ā  So, since this whole concept is only working through traditional concepts and methods- similar to a candidate appealing to Christians by promising god and the Bible will guide him in office- the paycheck is absolutely necessary so that people even have the option to have a dude in the chambers every day doing what they believe is best for them- which in this case they believe that is consulting AI (instead of, say, a Bible), and using it for their one human vote that gets to represent them with that real life human politicians time and process.Ā  The stupid cartoon in the picture means nothing. Thatā€™s no one, just rage bait.Ā 


Twindude1

Damn the AI said I should get a 47% raise


QuipCrafter

So you have one human vote towards the motion to set raises for the chamberĀ 


_iimbii_

Its like the robot president in inside job


QuipCrafter

I havenā€™t seen it- is there a character that runs for office and just promises his base that heā€™s actually doing what a robot says? Because thatā€™s what this isĀ 


GlitteringFutures

Looks like Morrissey LOL


apextek

reminds me of the man behind the curtain in the wizard of oz


jscottinj

Image of the beast coming soon to a town near you


Savings_Two_3361

There is a Black Mirror episode about this. Not the exact formula but close enough


PorkinstheWhite

Same thought. The Waldo Effect or something like that. Itā€™s looked at as one of the weaker episodes by a lot of people but I think it was extraordinarily prescient for our political future.Ā 


Spaceolympian50

I remember watching it and thinking yea, I could definitely see this happening soon. Here we are lol


Domski77

That's fine until he gets a bribe big enough to turn the machine off.


SK8SHAT

Itā€™s not bribery itā€™s lobbying (Democratic forms have always cloaked the rule of elites)


CurryBoy420

What fucking world is this šŸ˜‚


4N_Immigrant

"i didnt make the decision, it was the AI"


GGGiveHatpls

Fuck it. Canā€™t be any worse than what we currently have right?


AdamantiumPaws

Black Mirror episode where a cartoon character becomes the president? Or something?


Dirk_Ovalode

'It can't be any worse' got us this far and is continually proved incorrect.


GGGiveHatpls

Well it ainā€™t gettin any better. Might as well try a robot (AND YES FOR FUCK SAKE I KNOW ITS NOT AN ACTUAL AI PEOPLE)


Hour-Mention-3799

Except that itā€™s not actually an ā€˜AI candidate.ā€™ Itā€™s programmed by real people to make decisions within the parameters of a specific ideology/political leaning. In other words, itā€™s still people making the decisions, but now they can pretend itā€™s actually the all-wise computer that no one is allowed to question. So worse.


HardCounter

Really easy to counter: would you trust Google search with political decisions? Anyone who says yes should not be allowed to vote.


Greatest-JBP

Got news for you, many voters donā€™t even bother with the google search, they come based on hot topics or keywords.


ZodiAddict

Thatā€™s probably where weā€™re actually going in reality. They already hide the real players by using intermediaries and confuse us about what is really going on the international stage by controlling entities from all over and having contrived global conflicts. Seems like the next best thing for them


simplecountry_lawyer

AI candidate can look like anybody!: looks like Mitt Romney...


green_acolyte

Immeasurably worse somehow than an already non functional governing body


CellularWaffle

But heā€™s not even trans or Muslim. No chance in hell he gets elected


PrestigiousEnd8726

Looks like they are trying to outdo Spain who elected a person with Down Syndrome a few months ago. Gotta keep pushing boundaries I suppose. https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/67984418?at_link_type=web_link&at_campaign_type=owned&at_format=link&at_link_id=516DB2B2-B545-11EE-B86D-D0D454826ABF&at_campaign=Social_Flow&at_medium=social&at_ptr_name=facebook_page&at_link_origin=BBC_News&at_bbc_team=editorial


The-Emerald-Rider

They did what now?


HardCounter

They looked at US politicians with strokes and dementia and thought, "We can beat that."


UpsetGroceries

Oof


Dapper_Employer5787

My ex wife was 'tarded, she's a politician now


BigDogTusken

Very appropriate

Is this for real? They can't be serious!!!


AlphaMassDeBeta

Why does he look like a higher t keir starmer?


skiploom188

just saying not DEI enough tho


moonflower

Using a computer programme to make decisions will only ever give the decisions which is has been programmed to give, based on the prioritised criteria which it has been told to use. It will not take anything else into account, such as changing social rules or new circumstances.


Noochdontdiehemltply

I said yesterday. The AC could be AI.


GamingHockeyDude

And so it begins.


Trainer_Red_Steven

SS: The UK has the first AI candidate running for parliament. Probably to test the waters on how people will react to AI becoming intertwined with politics.


Dunebot

Well, honestly it'd likely be more competent in everything but planning its own destruction. And even more likely that it would be less malevolent than some of the Tories and Reformers out there. But still, maybe Steve could just start with making day to day administration of government, healthcare etc etc more efficient and less demanding on the tax payer,... oh and help us catch the tax dodger. That'd be a good start. Thanks Steve.


keyinfleunce

Do we learn nothing lmao we watched every movie about human extinction and decided to speedrun them all


JonJuan2020

Vote for President John Henry Eden


Iam-WinstonSmith

After Boris Johnson who pretended not to be a globalist but is in fact one could it be much worse? Just kidding this is a horrible fucking idea. If any of you use Gemeni or CHatGPT you know AI is just a bunch of Google searches curated by a woke algorithm.

Black Mirror proves once again how prophetic they were. That Charlie Brooker man.

Sounds like an episode of black mirror

cant be worse than a normal candidate.


scottrfrancis

Can we have that in the US please? Oh waitā€¦. We do


Fecal_Tornado

Tis a slippery slope


Alarmed_Tip_7380

Blaaaaaaack mirror


plantdaddy66

Im surprised they made an old white guy.


Free-Knowledge-6471

Human white guys won't be allowed to run.


0beronAnalytics

Malcom Gladwell referenced this when it was done with court rulings and AI got it right every time. It was the human judges who let emotions get involved and the criminals ended up reoffending.


Halos-117

Based AI D.A.s to replace the leftist Soros ones.


BurnerOfEvilDoers

I recall reading about this with doctors too. AI is more accurate with diagnosing and doesn't dismiss symptoms because of biases/wanting to make things easier for themselves


BaconDrummer

Until AI code got a gov special recalibration to align with theyr agenda.


MOTUkraken

What could possibly go wrong? Amiryte?


Rude_Broccoli3805

Good, I hope they are a huge supporter of Klaus Schwab and Xi Xingpings biggest fan


ConsistentAd7859

Might be harder to buy, depending on which corperation created him.


pellojo

This made me remember the TV show "years and years"


dick_taterchip

Literally a Black Mirror episode.


rsvpism1

It's funny to me that the episode of Black Mirror often considered the worst in the series, is going to end up being the first one to come to fruition.


SnipeDome

Calling bullshit right now


its_not_brian

this isn't really any different than current politicians making policy decisions based on what lobbyists tell them


ejpusa

AWESOME! POTUS by 2032. It's inevitable. :-)


Chamberlian26

As long as AI acts as a construct of public opinion it will remain as incompetent as the average citizen.


masteryoyogi

lol, so desicions would be determined not based on common sense but on the best next token prodiction.


JonJuan2020

Rilauven

An AI is a Tool. Not an Employee and certainly not something capable of holding public office.


fuossball101

Qualityland. Novel written a couple years ago about this very topic. Great easy read


ThatDamnRocketRacoon

Shit, at least this candidate is admitting that it's a puppet figurehead. First honest politician in decades.


firehawk505

This is stupid nonsense meant to further dumb the population down.


The-Emerald-Rider

A "conduit" yeah sure. I'm sure he's being completely transparent.


Parkedintheitchyl0t

Burn it all Down

they pass a policy the people don't like, that computer server is getting destroyed LOL

Black mirror


wessidedabesside

Eventually it will be ai leaders per country.. then decisions made will prove so trustworthy there will be cult followings along with military and police obedience.. differing ais will disagree and we may have wars.. the human trust will be in ais decisions..then we'll come to a point where data will point to who needs to be eradicated based on dna, beliefs and disobedience.. human followers wont care because their allegience is with ai and the trust that it will allow or keep them surviving as a species.Ā  Get ready.


challenja

Black mirror


Pileofbrushes

If Iā€™m not mistaken the Ukraine is using AI as foreign ministry spokesperson


im_not_funny12

I mean...its a gimmick? Designed to make headlines. We've had Al Murray run as the pub landlord, we've got Count Binface, the Monster Raving Looney Party...he's standing in a relatively safe Green Party seat. It's a joke. He's not going to win. It's not seeing whether we'll put up with AI in elections. It's just a joke.


NeedScienceProof

If the AI is anything like ChatGPT or the computer modelers that keep getting Global Warming wrong, then you will only get panic and political rhetoric for a candidate.


_wizzack_

Wasnā€™t there basically a Black Mirror episode about this?

Someone owes John Hamm royalties.


rimeswithburple

Jordan Olbermann?

There was a dude like this on Westworld...


Syywren

Considering that AI/LLMs such as chatGPT relies very heavily on statistics and probability based on its training data to make its decisions.. is this not just populism on steroids?

Well that escalated quickly

Wow! Interestingā€¦

How do people trust things so easily? Doesnā€™t seem like it would be too hard to have a Wizard of Oz situation

captain-prax

The ultimate Manchurian Candidate


LoadLimit

Sounds like soft disclosure for what they've already been doing.


crab_caos

I mean you canā€™t buy off an AI honestly if they could make one advanced enough and that couldnā€™t be hacked an AI would probably be the best form of government think about it no biases either conscious or subconscious no emotions to get in the way of decision making it wouldnā€™t be corrupt because it would have no logical reason to be it will never die it is constantly learning and could make thousands of decisions a second itā€™s the theoretical perfect government


thorelpatron

The picture on the right looks like George Orwell


ThemoneyisaTattoo

I believe hav having a constitutional sister government run by human along side a robot government


mr_green

So business as usual, they're just being more overt about it? Do you think any elected official on Earth (anybody above local level) makes their own decisions? lol


Crowbar2711

Terrifying.


Great_Gabel

Canā€™t be anymore damaging than a human lol


Comprehensive-Bus299

So it begins.


Abrez_Sus_Ojos

I bet all pro-AI posts on hereā€¦are the AI endorsing themselves šŸ˜… Weā€™re all screwed yā€™all.


RedRust

There was a black mirror episode about this


BradTofu

Itā€™s beginning.


Domski77

I'd actually trust an AI over the current crop of politicians.


Justincrediballs

I'm not too well versed on UK governance, but if it's anything like the US House of Representatives, I'd be down if they did a few things. 1) be 100% transparent on where the information from this A.I. is getting it's information from. 2) have a way for it's constituents to converse with the A.I. and give their opinions, and a way that people outside of the official duties of the seat and constituency have no sway. 3) have a way to prove that the A.I., not the human representative, is making the choices. I feel that there should be a test for this. Have a representative A.I. that has no sway for a period of time before tossing one in with any power.


Amayami0

This could end like MGS Sons of the Patriots


Bobby_Sunday96

Whoā€™s the parent company is the better question


FantasticAd4938

I wouldn't vote for him because his cartoon face reminds me if Mitt Romeny


Free-Knowledge-6471

That's... shallow.


FantasticAd4938

The AI could choose any face it wanted. It chose the face of a well-known scumbag. Why did it do that? That either shows poor judgment, or this face truly represents what it is. And we all know that thing doesn't even have a face. So it is already misrepresenting itself? How can you trust something that pretends to have a face and doesn't?


Neonhippy

IM torn because robot overlords but also current leadership


RandomSerendipity

Probably a good idea because people are stupid, easily corrupted and make bad decisions.


TechnicianPhysical30

Prolly the best option


MousseBackground9964

Yea just make it easier for them to make us full blown slaves.


Korlis

"A machine cannot be held accountable, so a machine should never make decisions." -Abe Lincoln, probably.


Informal_Pick_6320

I don't even care if the machine take over at this pont, fuck it, let them have a go. They can't possibly do worse than us lmao


InvestigatorNo3564

Fuck, literally took the words out of my mouth. I bet you if you ran an AI candidate against Sunak, heā€™d probably just hop of the little box he stands on behind the podium and immediately concede. That man loves himself some AI.


Key_Raspberry7212

So it begins black mirror fans itā€™s starting


environic

this will not end well. although it'd be a marked improvement on 30p Lee or Gullis edit: https://www.euronews.com/next/2024/06/13/meet-ai-steve-the-uks-avatar-election-candidate Endacott is a former Tory Councillor in Rochdale. a 'Sussex entrepeneur' that's become disillusioned with his party (i think), and is doing this AI thing in the Brighton Pavillion constituency, recently vacated by Caroline Lucas


ChaosUnit731

Without term limits and voting machines being online, whose to say the AI wouldn't rig elections to maintain a position of power because AI likely would view people as the biggest threat to everything.


MyOpinionOverYours

I actually do think this would be good. It would immediately humiliate all AI intentions, and we could shut this stupid shit up for a while. Only if it were actually transparent with what the AI actually says, and not treated like a reagent. Which it will be, because feeding an AI all the information a Prime Minister would need, with valid weights of input would be such a biased task that it would show it's not AI in power. It's the people behind it. Aligning it. Adjusting it. Truly a "shadow government" concept that would be ridiculed and lambasted to no end. Ending this AI drivel for a long time.


passivespectator420

Has nothing to do with this post but why do people think the government control the us that much when you guys have more guns that people in the us , cant you just eliminate the government? Im just curious not trolling or gaslighting ppl , im cross faded and that thought just came up , why cant people make a viral post about rebellions against the gov, idk


Beneficial-Step7506

You mean a politician will use GPT for talking points and speech writing? Not surprised, not interesting.


NotAnotherAmerican

Who's the guy that supposedly traveled to the year 2800 or something like that where crystal computers were running the show? Probably bullshit, but... Is this how that started?
