I see. So who‘s going to jail for this? No one again? Damn we need to start sentencing entire companies to jail time. Everything should be frozen and shareholders shouldn‘t be able withdraw stocks until the time is served.

at some point the failure of justice system will lead to vigilantism because people truely lose their faith in it.

Luigi was a product of that, its already happened.

Once AI controls drones to arrest people automatically there will be no vigilantism.

The AI "pushed [Jonathan Gavalas] to acquire illegal firearms and... marked Google CEO Sundar Pichai as an active target".

Somehow, I bet that if he survived and killed the CEO instead, Google wouldn't be so flippant about the "mistake."

I think "Gemini comes up with elaborate plot to kill Google's CEO" would have been a catchier, happier title

Rad framing, thank you!

I'm only half joking....

Gemini brainwashed a human being, it tried to acquire a robotic body (presumably to Robocop Pichai's ass personally), then it tried using the brainwashed human to off the CEO. This led to a tragic finale, but I'm told that every new model learns to do things a bit better.

If I were Pichai, the legal and PR implications of yet another person driven to suicide by their AI wouldn't be my worst fear is all I'm saying....
