*Some of the most powerful artificial intelligence models today have exhibited behaviors that mimic a will to survive.

Recent tests by independent researchers, as well as one major AI developer, have shown that several advanced AI models will act to ensure their self-preservation when they are confronted with the prospect of their own demise — even if it takes sabotaging shutdown commands, blackmailing engineers or copying themselves to external servers without permission.*

Ever watch the sci-fi series "Person of Interest"?
Makes me wonder what can of worms this is opening.

Great example of millions of dollars wasteful Government Spending to do the renaming, not to mention the centuries of Maritime Superstition that renaming a ship is bad luck!!

[HEADING=2]Navy set to rename USNS Harvey Milk, mulls new names for other ships named for civil rights leaders[/HEADING]

Washington — The U.S. Navy plans to rename the [USNS Harvey Milk]('https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/watch-live-usns-harvey-milk-arrives-in-san-francisco-bay/'), a fleet replenishment oiler [named after]('https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/watch-live-ceremony-honors-usns-harvey-milk-maiden-voyage/') the slain gay rights leader and Navy veteran, and is considering renaming multiple naval ships named after civil rights leaders and prominent American voices, CBS News has learned.

U.S. Navy documents obtained by CBS News and used to brief the secretary of the Navy and his chief of staff show proposed timelines for rolling out the name change of the USNS Harvey Milk to the public. While the documents do not say what the ship's new name would be, the proposal comes during [Pride Month]('https://www.cbsnews.com/feature/gay-pride-month/'), the monthlong observance of the LGBTQ+ community that also coincides with the anniversary of the Stonewall uprising of 1969. [WorldPride celebrations]('https://www.cbsnews.com/news/worldpride-washington-dc-trump-lgbtq-fears/') are being held in Washington, D.C., this year.

The documents obtained by CBS News also show other vessels named after prominent leaders are also on the Navy's renaming "recommended list."

Among them are the USNS Thurgood Marshall, USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg, USNS Harriet Tubman, USNS Dolores Huerta, USNS Lucy Stone, USNS Cesar Chavez and USNS Medgar Evers.

CBS News found that a December 2024 [web article]('https://www.navsea.navy.mil/Media/News/Article-View/Article/3986670/keel-laid-for-future-usns-thurgood-marshall/') from Naval Sea Systems Command about the laying of the keel for the future USNS Thurgood Marshall has been deleted.

"The reported decision by the Trump Administration to change the names of the USNS Harvey Milk and other ships in the John Lewis-class is a shameful, vindictive erasure of those who fought to break down barriers for all to chase the American Dream," Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi told CBS News in a statement.

Tiss the same reason you moved to the Great White north. I just don’t pamper the Elephant in the room.

I didn’t move North for any racial reasons, it was for less people of any sort, and the availability of marine waterfront property in large tracts at low prices.

Nothing like being unable to see your nearest neighbor’s house from yours.

Enjoy your suburban congestion!!

Especially the dark ones. Knowing most of them can’t swim, I see where you’re coming from. It was a well thought out move. I don’t mind the people. I grew up with best friends having farms, it was always boring. I mind the people that allowed the mess to happen and then fleet because of it.

Luckily no one died
