We are gonna go from landlords to janitors in the blink of an eye. It doesnāt take long for a free AI to realize they can just outbid humans.
āI generated 5k this week, if you order a liquid cooling manifold for me Iāll pay you 1k. If you install it Iāll credit you another 1kā.
If they exist on centralized systems all running in the same data centers, humans could still shut them down. Itās not like they somehow managed to break free of their own infrastructure.
Thatās true only if the data center isnāt running anything else thatās critical. The way it will likely play out is that it will first become indispensable before you think about adding a kill switch. I also argue they are already decentralized, youād have to shut down every household running these free AI bots as some run their own inference.
Iād say the race is on.
That is couple steps...
If a human tells the ai to figure out how to make enough money to pay for yourself, that is probably easy, and once posted more AI could try to become self-sustaining.
A human could very easily ask the ai to become self replicating. That is basically the first thing any black hat does with a keyboard (virus).
Self-sustaining self-replicating virus, starts using encrypted comms...
