    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

          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…
