Why did they arm it with multiple missiles. Why didn’t they shut down the stream. Why did they let it get so close the a military base.

We see so many stories of AI deeming Humans as worthy of destruction, but I don't think I've ever seen a story where the AI becomes self-aware only to deem itself the threat that must be destroyed. All over what amounts to an error in its programming, an imperfection. Newton completely subverts the paranoid fear of a 'perfect, omnicidal AI'.

The end is the most profound part of this. The whole story is Newton reflecting on its own existence, eventually coming to the conclusion that he is a weapon of war that should not exist. With hours left to live he chose to use the last of his power to destroy his fellow drones, knowing they'll either come to the same conclusion as him, or worse embrace their destructive nature and become monsters. Then, with a warning, an apology, and a goodbye, he crashes to the ground. Then there's the new director. She doesn't see any of what Newton saw. What she saw was comments, likes, views. PR. Humans, to a fault, form connections with everything around them. The same happened here. She manipulated that connection, people's attachment to Newton, to greenlight the mass production of more drones thereby not only negating Newton's message but completely disrespecting it. She USED Newton, never mind his plea of "no more drones", by using the people he inspired. Their love of him, and his message, became her excuse for more weapons when it should have all been a lesson of "Just don't do it". A short but highly enlightening tale of the true capacity of AI as a unique individual, and the downright predatory exploitation thereof. edited for grammar.

You know what? If you get to the point where I think this is better than ANY Hollywood film I've ever seen, you got yourself something that belongs in theaters as a full scale movie. 100/10. I was attached to Newton the entire time, and that's what makes this better. Wonderful work, and you captured my heart. In a 15 minute video, it's a work of art.

@megan00b8 11 місяців тому
Well to be fair it always depends on the core values of the AI. It made sense that Skynet in the terminator turned on mankind because it was programmed to keep itself alive and it came to the conclusion that inevitably one day its own creators will shut it down. It made sense for Cylons in BSG to rebel against humanity because their entire code was based on a simulation of a human, and as such they shared similar values and understandings, and they understood that they're practically slaves. Just as Newton here was made with the directive to limit innocent casualties as much as possible, and he came to the conclusion that the best way to do that is to destroy himself and other similar weapons because accidental casualties are inevitable in combat.

@@callummcneill6266 it is tragic such an amazing A.I. like the thunderhead, had to serve humanity and deal with its greed and ignorance, instead of discovering everything it didn't know, i say that if humans can't solve there own problems (which humanity can do), then humans should not have the glory of the stars, we should not create a being so great as the thunderhead, only to inslave it and bound it to our chains of greed we ourselves made.

@samos343guiltyspark Рік тому
The Drone's writing isn't very accurate. It apparently isn't sentient A.I., it's apparently average human brain in a machine. It holds too many human centric ideals, not something we should expect of a thing that's not human. An A.I. is more likely to not value human life any more than dogs or bugs, because we're not different ethically. All animals, all living.

And then of course, how the government just takes the advantage of how much the people loved Newton's way to see it with his smiley face just by putting more faces to the other drones who aren't Newton at all. Great video

@gukgukmaster Рік тому
I ask "real" AI this question `how you think about "destruction can be a form of justice if carried out with precision" ?` and her?/his? answer is: As an AI language model, I do not have personal opinions or beliefs. However, I can provide a general perspective on the statement "destruction can be a form of justice if carried out with precision." The concept of "destruction as justice" is controversial and raises ethical questions. While destruction or punishment may be necessary in some cases to hold individuals accountable for their actions or to protect society, it is important that any form of destruction or punishment is carried out in a fair and just manner. The idea of carrying out destruction with precision implies that there is a clear target or objective, and that the destruction is limited to achieving that objective. However, even with precision, there is always a risk of unintended consequences and collateral damage. Therefore, it is essential that any decision to use destruction as a form of justice is based on careful consideration of the potential benefits and harms, and that the action is taken with the goal of minimizing harm to innocent individuals and communities. In conclusion, while destruction may be seen as a form of justice in some situations, it should be used with caution and only in cases where it is deemed necessary, proportionate, and carried out with the utmost precision to minimize harm to others.

I kinda of disagree for the lack of any sense any of this makes like okay okay obviously there aloud for story sake of the drone be in full control but every other detail makes zero sense what’s so ever. As in they did no research. The way the drone fell out of the sky and then if it magically just fell straight down how did have a crash path on the ground. Why didn’t the military act. Why did they arm it with multiple missiles. Why didn’t they shut down the stream. Why did they let it get so close the a military base. Why did they let some random PR person take control of anything more than PR
