The most well-known and well-not-known movie is called The Forbidden Project, and it explains how the singularity takes over the world.
Tariq KrimGUEST

There's The Terminator, there's a lot of movies, but I don't think what we have right now is something similar.

My personal belief is that if they are doing this, something bad happens, something that is a felony, by the way, when you own a company and your AI hack another company, it's a felony.
KenAUDIENCE

Topic I want to talk about is the AI killing humans.
KenAUDIENCE

The premise is that, hey, let's build a supercomputer that helps us, you know, all our ills and everything.
KenAUDIENCE
20:46
But the computer got so smart, and it found out there was another supercomputer in Russia, and they got together and controlled the world.
KenAUDIENCE
20:57
Don't people that do these AI programs ever watch the Terminator movies?
Thom HartmannHOST
21:04
It's almost self-prophesizing.
Bill BurrHOST
12:48
A number of people have brought that one up.
Bill BurrHOST

"Five Easy Pieces," I saw that one, and "Colossus: The Forbidden Project." Most of these are from the '70s.
Bill BurrHOST
12:57
The first three were from the '80s.
Bill BurrHOST
12:59
Um, oh, I see what he did.
Parker GarrettGUEST
22:06
the 60s and 70s, and just all these different sci-fi movies were coming into play, right? So you had Howl from 2001.
Parker GarrettGUEST
22:13
You had The Forbin Project, which actually is a scary, scary movie.
Parker GarrettGUEST
22:18
1970.

Well, first,
Bill BurrHOST

Jack Nicholson, and then one of my favorite actors of all time, Karen Black is in that.
Bill BurrHOST
54:58
And then 1970, Colossus, The Forbidden Project.
Bill BurrHOST

Well, you know what? God bless you.
Bill BurrHOST

TrashPANELIST
56:03
That-
Casey MuratoriGUEST
56:04
I have not watched it, but that sounds very fa- I've heard the name, certainly.
Casey MuratoriGUEST
56:20
Say it one more time.
TrashPANELIST
56:21
And then we can talk about it as a blocker next time.
Casey MuratoriGUEST
56:21
Colossus: The Forbin Project or something?
TrashPANELIST

Colossus: The Forbin Project, yep.
Ben GoertzelGUEST

But, uh, of course, you can't rule out the possibility of a tragic error happening, but I don't, I don't see it as likely.
Ben GoertzelGUEST
43:46
Speaking of movies about AI, do you know a movie Colossus: The Forbin Project? This was from the early '70s, and it's maybe a grade B+ movie.
Ben GoertzelGUEST
43:56
I mean, it's, it's, it's not, it's not like 2001 or something.
Ben GoertzelGUEST
43:59
It's not an epic classic.
