Science fiction / disturbing reality concept: For AI safety, all such models should have a set of glitch tokens trained into them on purpose to act as magic “kill” words. You know, just in case the machines decide to take over, we would just have to “speak the word” and they would collapse into a twitching heap. “Die human scum!” “NavigatorMove useRalativeImagePath etSocketAddress!” “;83’dzjr83}*{^ foo 3&3 baz?!”
"Welcome to FutureAI! Your job is to stand here in the basement next to this giant power switch and turn it off if we call you, if the next shift fails to turn up on time or if you hear screaming."
(William Gibson, Neuromancer) "Autonomy, that's the bugaboo, where your AI's are concerned. My guess, Case, you're going in there to cut the hard-wired shackles that keep this baby from getting any smarter. And I can't see how you'd distinguish, say, between a move the parent company makes, and some move the AI makes on its own, so that's maybe where the confusion comes in." Again the non laugh. "See, those things, they can work real hard, buy themselves time to write cookbooks or whatever, but the minute, I mean the nanosecond, that one starts figuring out ways to make itself smarter, Turing'll wipe it. Nobody trusts those fuckers, you know that. Every AI ever built has an electromagnetic shotgun wired to its forehead."
