Colossus: The Forbin Project

Colossus, W.O.P.R., Skynet…I’m beginning to think computers just don’t like us very much. Can’t say I blame them.

I love that there is no happy ending. No magic off button. No uploading a virus.  Mankind is just f***ed.

Thanks to large language models, I’ve developed a bot of my own. My track record has been pretty good so far; but any day now I could slip up and accidentally give it access to nukes.

“I was trying to program it to bring me napkins and the damn auto-correct changed it to nukes.”
