The original books never go further into it, but essentially yes. There’s a single bit of dialogue when Paul’s son talks about hunter seeker robots exterminating mankind. But in the prequel books, during the Butlerian jihad, just before it’s defeat the enemy ai makes copies of itself and launched them to random distant stars. And mind you, this was before faster then light travel (the discovery of which is what actually helped the humans win). But presumably Omnius returns for a reckoning.

Rather, their test of a malware tool powered by an llm went much better than expected? Bullshit, anyhow…

I love how making it onto this snowflake’s list is quickly turning into a lemmy badge of honor.

The original is worth it, if only for the full context of abridged.

No, they’re all floppy disks. Cause the platter was floppy, even if the disk wasn’t.

Ribbit. Ribbit all out

No.

The ideas behind them involved slavery and genocide. Otherwise known as “colonial settler” behavior.

I got a switch 2. Regret the decision.

Really? How come the “free market” fails entirely without regulation?

That’s…irrelevant.

Really. The specific details of the task doesn’t change that this was automated. Until it’s reviewed, it’s basically a pile of Schrödinger’s bugs and security holes. That’s the technical debt.

Well, no.
