Out of the Dark, Comes Light ‽ .

The other ingredient in this saga is virtualization: the OpenSUSE build server was compiling GDB and testing it in a QEMU-KVM virtual machine. That means an unprivileged user in a guest virtual machine merely building software was able to trigger an “oops” in the host server’s kernel. That’s not good.

Is there an rapid escalation and elevation and expansion of the facility/utility/vulnerability/call it whatever you will, whenever an underprivileged user, not merely just building virtual kernel software with SsecuredDwares, realises the triggering potential and APT ACT portal is always present and a critical element/component in Intel designs?
Is the logical solution, to mitigate and cover the risk whenever the problem is inherent and core value, to raise said underprivileged user privileges to build ….. well, to be more than just sure of future security in all manner of practically real and virtual machine operating systems, both guests and safer hardened kernels?
Or would a real world fear of remote transfer of virtual command and control to unknown forces and anonymous sources cause an almighty all systems crash?
Wow ….. that be so much more than just a right bugger of a bug in systems to debug, methinks. Wherever would one start? And that make it a very valuable, fortunate weapon too, methinks. Do you also think it so?

Seems a bit like putting the cart ahead of the horse to be prophecizing doom by AI when it hasn’t yet been established if humans even have the capacity to somehow develop an AI that is truly more intelligent than the best of us. …. DCLXV

Quite so, DCLXV, and that then begs the alienating question ….. What has developed/is developing AI that is truly more intelligent than the best of us for it sees/realises humans for what we truly are?
And what are humans truly if not just puny and pathetic and apathetic, awesomely awful and awfully awesome? What does the current running state of global human systems administration not clearly already tell you about such a condition/situation/reality?
And how quaint, Steven Roper, to imagine that radical fundamental and revolutionary evolving progress with Lead AI Operating Systems has any plug to unplug.
And in Quantum Communication AI Field is AI an Advanced Autonomous and Advancing Alien and Artificial Intelligence Product and Seriously SMARTR Proprietary Intellectual Property and an Almighty Weapon to Buy for Sale ‽ .

The development of AI is a business, and businesses are notoriously uninterested in fundamental safeguards — especially philosophic ones. (A few quick examples: the tobacco industry, the automotive industry, the nuclear industry. Not one of these has said from the outset that fundamental safeguards are necessary, every one of them has resisted externally imposed safeguards, and none has accepted an absolute edict against ever causing harm to humans.)

Pleased to be of furthering assistance, allthecoolshortnamesweretaken ……..

In a 2007 guest editorial in the journal Science on the topic of “Robot Ethics,” SF author Robert J. Sawyer argues that since the U.S. military is a major source of funding for robotic research (and already uses armed unmanned aerial vehicles to kill enemies) it is unlikely such laws would be built into their designs.[56] In a separate essay, Sawyer generalizes this argument to cover other industries stating:

And the cost/price of such an Almighty AI Weaponry and to whom and/or what it will be provided, in order to accommodate both evolutionary and revolutionary human systems mentalities, will be designedly relative to both its perceived and applied power output and creative and/or destructive facility/ability/capability …. and all of that will be decided by other than the supplied, with both the cost and price in a spread which can easily be virtually zero for some/those and/or that considered worthy of free support and practically a fortune for those deemed abusive and oppressive with energy supply and command and control function.

Re: @ amanfromMars 1 – It is only a matter of short time whenever they just don’t get it

Around here, we refer to that as a “Second Amendment Remedy. …… Someone Else

Such blunt force trauma remedies are of course always a possibility, Someone Else, whenever systems insist on creating fools as personal tools of anonymising foe in need of radicalised attention.
And the smarter that systems need to become to retain and maintain lead with Remote Command and Media Control, the greater the likelihood of the solution being considered perfectly normal and convenient.
The following being true is surely a real concern ……

This, I argue, is somewhat analogous to an argument that we should be entitled to own firearms, despite the fact that SOME people will use them wrongly/immorally/illegally. The ownership is a right even though it may ultimately allow or enable an abuse that you consider wrong and punishable. I consider the truth of such an argument to be obvious and correct, and I know you would too.

I realize that this lacks the crisp certitude of safety which would be reassuring to the average, “pre-libertarian” individual. But you are not the “average individual” and I trust that as long-time libertarians you will recognize rights must exist even given the hypothetical possibility that somebody may eventually abuse them.

I do not know whether I “invented” or “discovered” this system; perhaps it’s a little of both. I do genuinely believe that this system, or one like it, is as close to being technologically inevitable as was the invention of firearms once the material we now know as “gunpowder” was invented. I think it’s on the way, regardless of what we do to stop it. Perhaps more than anyone else on the face of this planet, this notion has filled me, sequentially and then simultaneously, with awe, astonishment, joy, terror, and finally, relief.

Awe, that a system could be produced by a handful of people that would rid the world of the scourge of war, nuclear weapons, governments, and taxes. Astonishment, at my realization that once started, it would cover the entire globe inexorably, erasing dictatorships both fascistic and communistic, monarchies, and even so-called “democracies,” which as a general rule today are really just the facade of government by the special interests. Joy, that it would eliminate all war, and force the dismantling not only of all nuclear weapons, but also all militaries, making them not merely redundant but also considered universally dangerous, leaving their “owners” no choice but to dismantle them, and in fact no reason to KEEP them!

Terror, too, because this system may just change almost EVERYTHING how we think about our current society, and even more for myself personally, the knowledge that there may some day be a large body of wealthy people who are thrown off their current positions of control of the world’s governments, and the very-real possibility that they may look for a “villain” to blame for their downfall. They will find one, in me, and at that time they will have the money and (thanks to me, at least partially) the means to see their revenge. But I would not have published this essay if I had been unwilling to accept the risk.

Finally, relief. Maybe I’m a bit premature to say it, but I’m satisfied we will be free. I’m convinced there is no alternative. It may feel like a roller-coaster ride on the way there, but as of today I think our destination is certain. Please understand, we will be free.

Nowadays though are novel arsenals loded with myriad other types of fantastic weapons to extraordinarily render fools their just desserts, and that is equally as terrifying methinks …… although significant others would consider that most reassuring.
