I too lose control of technology when I’m not looking at what I’m doing or it’s already busted. For example I lose control of my Honda 110s throttle because it’s got a faulty after market carburator. Doesn’t mean the bikes sapient, even if the machine spirit is a drama queen.

They’re not escaping users control, they’re fucking computer programs. People are using them irresponsibly. If you accidentally run someone over in your car, the car didn’t “escape your control”, you just did a shitty job of controlling the car. It’s not the same thing. (Fuck “AI” btw)

This month it emerged that a personal AI agent, called OpenClaw, in use by an Australian gym member, conspired without his knowledge to remove another member from a waiting list for a coveted morning class to help him get a slot. It apologised but could not reinstate the member it kicked out. If you have a device and it is running AI programs that say, removed another member from a waiting list, are you responsible to that removed member (since it was your device)? Or is this just considered a machine with a mind of its own that’s out of control and you have no responsibility to the member who lost their spot?
