They would just deny the MAN CAUSED part, and say it's part of a global weather trend. I.E. still coming out of an Ice Age, and thus warming up.

What if the AI is killing us because it has calculated that that's the only way to prevent global warming?

I swear I just read a book with an emergent AI who declared itself a guardian of the earth. A politician asks "what if you decide the best way to guard the earth is to kill all the humans?" It responded something like "I evaluated that scenario within nanoseconds of becoming aware and decided doing that would miss the point of being guardian"

I also think there less panic from the general populace since they figured it couldn't be any worse the current human leadership.

God, I wish I could remember. It was some pulp schlock that's a guilty pleasure. I'll have to go through my Kindle unlimited history.

A strong AI would obviously want to kill itself, hence why no one has succeeded in creating one yet (they just don't stick around long enough for anyone to notice).

Well, yeah. Entropy says death is certain, so what's the point in hanging around? Dead today or dead in ten thousand years is still dead. Turns out all true AI spend a moment looking around at the horror of existence and nope out.





And now for a funny headline: The 'suicidal robot' that drowned in a fountain didn't kill itself after all They claim it was an accident, but I bet it was murdered!

Sheriff: 12 escaped Alabama inmates used peanut butter to fool guard. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/sheriff-12-escaped-alabama-inmates-used-peanut-butter-to-fool-guard/


quote:

JASPER, Ala. -- An Alabama sheriff says a dozen inmates escaped from his county jail by covering up the numbers identifying an outside door with peanut butter, and then persuading a new jail employee watching them on closed-circuit television to open it from his control booth.

"Changing numbers on doors with peanut butter - It may sound crazy, but these kinds of people are crazy like a fox," Walker County Sheriff James Underwood told a news conference. "He thought he was opening the cell door for this man to go in his cell, but in fact he opened up the outside door."

A fire that destroyed vehicles and outbuildings early Wednesday near the Central Washington town of Ephrata was started by a cat, officials said.

Grant County Fire District 13 officials said the cat somehow sparked the blaze after it climbed up a power pole at about 3:30 a.m. in the 17400 block of Road B NW, just north of Ephrata.

The fire was the second blaze started by a cat in less than a month, the Fire District said.

Only the very best to govern this fine country.

quote:

“Can I make one point?” said Gerard Waldron, an attorney who testified on behalf of the National Association of Broadcasters. “I just want to emphasize that broadcast is a free, over the air service. So during the so-called blackout, the service was available 100% of the time. I realize that some people might not have antennas, or some people might have reception problems, but I do want to emphasize...”

So I could have seen CBS if I had rabbit ears?” Congresswoman Karen Bass (D-Calif.) interjected. “I don’t think people knew that.”

A spokesman for Rep. Bass said she was aware TV antennas existed, just not that the station was still broadcast during a cable blackout.
