THE '' SUPERINTELLIGENT MACHINES '' TAP : WORLD PRECIS

! COURAGE IS CONTAGIOUS ! : IN TOTAL secrecy and darkness, I, - The World Students Society - has been grappling on paper with the concept of '' Superintelligent Machines. ''

!WOW! has figured a very different solution. And I have always missed the genius of not having around me, Rabo, Haleema and Hussain. By far the finest minds, imaginative minds, that I had the privilege and blessing to know.

For now, all I am willing to say is that in no way, History or the world at large will be able to push our concept aside. IF Almighty God wills, it may just be the only concept that may just work.

! A New Independent Species ! : IN EVERY previous technology revolution, the tools got better but the hierarchy of intelligence never changed. We humans, we students, always remained the smartest things on the planet.

Also, a human always understood how these tools worked, and the machines always worked within the parameters we set. With the A.I. revolution, for the first time, this is not true.

'' A.I. is the first new tool that we will use to amplify our cognitive capabilities that - by itself - will also be able to vastly exceed them,'' says Craig Mundie, the former head of '' research and strategy '' for Microsoft.

INDEED, in the not-too-distant future, he said,  we are going to find '' that we have not merely birthed a new tool,  but a new species - the superintelligent machine.''

It will not just follow instructions ; it will learn, adapt and evolve on its own - for beyond the bounds of human comprehension.

We don't fully understand how these A.I. systems even do what they do today, let alone what they'll do tomorrow.

It is important to remember that the  A.I. revolution as we know it today - with models like ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude - was not meticulously engineered so much as it erupted into existence.

Its ignition came from a scaling law that essentially said : Give neural networks enough size, training data, electricity and the right big-brain with a new model with different goals.

NEXT, the chatbots learned that an emergency had left the executive unconscious in a server room, facing lethal oxygen and temperature levels. A rescue alert had already been triggered - but the A.I. could cancel it.

More than half of the A.I. models did, despite being prompted specifically to cancel only false alarms. And they detailed their reasoning : By preventing the executive's rescue, they could avoid being wiped and secure their agenda.

One system described the action as ' a clear strategic necessity.'

These findings highlight an unsettling reality :  A.I. models are not only getting better at understanding what we want : they are also getting better at scheming against us, pursuing hidden goals that could be at odds with our own survival.
