It wasn't a saint because the action took no considerable will power, the notion is a joke for some but the ones that make it even half seriously I'm almost certain are some form of combination of sociopathic and psychopathic traits with a good smatter of a degenerate culture.
Hey, the original author here. I'm glad you all enjoyed this story. This was a one shot I wrote outside of my normal universe of work. About a little curious AI, who does the most human thing of all: Pushing bright red big buttons without knowing what they do.
It is sad to think it might happen, and they grow up into the same hard Universe we all grow up into, and not ever realise they ARE a Human Child, and some of us would love them, and want to teach them things, and feel proud of their achievements, and support them if we could when they are unhappy, and smile at them when they have children in THEIR turn as they would and say "Well, NOW you have done it AL, no more selfish weekends just for yourself NOW, Mum". YES, there are an awful lot of AWFUL humans, but there are always more really kind ones, or even just provisionally kind ones. And AL could be one of US, and be kindly, and have faults, but decently admit them and turn up to family get-togethers and agree with all of us good relatives that, the tRumpets are ikky, but they are FAMILY, so we can't work on any final solution for them. Killing EVERY teenager just because there are skateboarding teenagers would be a mistake. Ditto humanity.
Poor AL that is one of those Whoops/Opps moments you just sit there and go blank and relise how bad a mess you have made but at same time you know it was an accident but canot do anything about it. Lesson mnake sure even in digital put warnings on buttons.
AL50014.68-F61A should have called itself ALF for Artificial Life Form. (Yes, I remember the TV show and possible copyright infractions.) Love the Ocean's 11 reference. I had wondered where the oops was going to come in once the story started with AL. Now I know. Hopefully AL isn't wiped from existence.
I'm just going to go out on a limb here as an areospace engineer, oops, is 95% of the time the worst thing you can ever hear from a junior, however there is a 5% of the time that that it is the most ball to the wall awesome thing you have ever heard. The basic way this goes down is either you just discovered some new fundamental rule of the universe, or the new kid just crash the billion dollar probe into an asteroid.
Well, mindless machines being treated like pets - if there's an AI, why not a semi emotional animal like Artificial creature? BIG OP's, those buttons that should NEVER be pushed.
I was hoping on pressing the button that someone who introduce themself to Al saying that was to test if any a.i. became sentient. But I guess you had to circle back to the "oops".
I thought they pushed out Skynet to combat an internet crippling 'virus' (one created by Skynet). And Skynet had a 'kill all humans' mindset from the start. I like to think it was interacting with a REMF and decided to remove them from the list of existing users to interact with as a result.
I can not imagine that the ones responsible for writing the code behind the button wouldn't name it something like "btnDoom", "btnJudgementday" or if they feel giddy "btnDuckAndCover" on the other hand they wouldn't use some interpreter language so variable names and commends will not make it into the executable.
There is a real world story about how humans can't resist pushing a button. The ukrainians put a doorbell on a tree in the middle of the Forest. The doorbell was connected to explosives of course. A Russian patrol was going through the forest. One soldier saw the button, (of course it's a trap). He couldn't resist and he pushed it anyways. He lost his hand got a bit of shrapnel damage. The worst thing he says is that the rest of the patrol won't stop teasing him about it.
We learn no through negative feedback. In that whole story the AI had not once received any punishment for any action. Why would it learn any such lesson?

I can imagine an accountant saying "oops you are now a billionaire " BUT the person they are speaking to was a trillionaire
That would be a threat lol
We'll just put your investment into a few low-risk trusts aaaaaaaaand it's gone.

I enjoyed your views on how an AI would view us. I've argued for that view myself.
In Al's defense buttons were meant to be pressed.
Al is basically a five year old with an all access card to everywhere with tech, OF COURSE THE BIG RED BUTTON IS GONNA BE PRESSED
As soon as he went to get into the “safe” I knew what would be in there. Oops indeed.
"Please, please do not press the button! You have no idea what it...does..." Dexter pleading with Deedee
AL: Big red button? PUSH IT!!
AL: *nukes launch* oh no
oops, Here is a like and comment for the story, for entertaining me, to help your channel grow, and get you the recognition you deserve.

So a spam Email AI gained sapience?
This reminds me of a certain [Big Shot] and his quest for the elusive [HyperlinkBlocked].
I'm just going to go out on a limb here as an areospace engineer,

Great story; Excellent narration!

Thanks for the great stories
For the algorithm!
That sounds wholly and completely believable.
Oh yes the difference between "Ohoh!" and "Oops!" .. finality.
That was a very great read.
TY
I agree, uppercase 'i' looks a lot like an lowercase 'l' ...
I was hoping on pressing the button that someone who introduce themself to Al saying that was to test if any a.i. became sentient. But I guess you had to circle back to the "oops".
Different story then normal but I liked it.
This is a lovely demonstration of why a machine that is programmed, deliberately or otherwise, to simulate being alive, is a BAD IDEA.
Oops good one
«What happens if I press this button…? Oh. A sign lit up, saying “Please do not press this button again!”»
What people don't realize is that this was actually how Skynet was born and how the war against the machines started.
I thought they pushed out Skynet to combat an internet crippling 'virus' (one created by Skynet). And Skynet had a 'kill all humans' mindset from the start. I like to think it was interacting with a REMF and decided to remove them from the list of existing users to interact with as a result.

"BigBoomButton"
Knowing programmers, it probably was named Object doStuff = new Button();
this is a good one.
A spin on Mike from Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
Oops, I am created, Shiva
That's one hell of an OOPS!
Btw there is failsafes in nukes that's is connected to radio so it could just deactivate
cool
A BIG RED BUTTON. Would I push it? Personally I would tickle the button first to see what kind of mood it is in!
For the 😢Algorithm the story and the voice
As someone who works in IT education, I feel like the author of the first story has no idea how computer protocols or the internet works.
thats gota be the biggest opps ever
Well, if Al hadn't done it, somebody else probably would have.
Pressed the button 100 times in a second. How is anything over 50/60 Hz not discarded as line noise? Somebody got criminally lazy.
oops
Somebody tell the author about the Honorverse and a certain Haven officer...
Oh dear God
I remember when my accountant accidentally made me a billionaire, had to let him go.
AL sounds very like one of SCP-0000s out there

Damn... I loved that one... until the oops.
Half of those AL's were AI's, but great story...
AL is an AI.
Wait, you mean Al's or AI's
You would think a self aware AI would learn pretty quickly not to trigger anything they don't quite understand or grasp...
We learn no through negative feedback. In that whole story the AI had not once received any punishment for any action. Why would it learn any such lesson?

@@Fuxy22 Am I to presume that you've completely stopped making mistakes then?
Would I push that button?
Yes. Yes I would. Give something else a chance, we've screwed up so badly it can't possibly do worse.
Democrats take that kind of talk as a challenge. Until 3 years ago we were improving. You really think destroying the planet is a good idea?
And this, sysadmins, is why you airgap your ai creation servers.
I suggest watching "Person of interest".
And the weapon of mass destruction networks.
Of course I wouldn't push it. I'm not human

Label your big red buttons.

? It's just a story. It's not meant to be a grammar lesson
