A software always runs on a computer.

A software always runs on a computer. A software always do what its creator wants it to do.
If the software doesn’t do what its creator wanted, it is a mistake from the coder, a bug.
If the software runs without the consent of the computer’s owner, it is a malware/virus.
Stopping a software is as easy as shutting down the computer on which it is running.
Terminator and Mission Impossible are hollywood fiction, there’s no such thing as "rogue software".
@ploum I imagine that viruses can get out of control and spread to more computers than intended
but I'm perfectly happy to think of AI as just another kind of malware

@ploum The issue with (or purpose of?) calling it rouge software is that it muddles the responsibility of it’s creators.

@ploum I partially disagree on the last part. Because shutting down a computer is only easy if it's one system in you physical reach and you're not depending on anything running on this system.

@feyter a good argument for never having anything depend on an AI-controlled system!

@ploum saying that an AI agent is going rogue is similar to saying that the main character in a James Bond movies its his laser watch.

@ploum Actually, there is such a thing as Rogue software. It's a video game from the early 80s developed for unix-like systems. Many games are "like" it these days.

@ploum I can't do more than agree. Far too many softwares and even websites can be classed as malware these days. Facebook, Instagram, Spotify, TikTok, any Google software, Windows XP SP 3 and newer (especially Windows 11), and more are the biggest malwares of them all.

@ploum We want it to have full access to the internet, but not exactly full and we can't be bothered to whitelist it. Also, we won't even monitor it, just leave it running and go home.

@ploum yes - if you write software, not so much if you grow it…
