The Guardian view on OpenAI's board shake-up: changes deliver more for shareholders than for humanity Editorial
In the 1983 movie WarGames, the US defence department runs a superintelligent central computer that is hacked into by a teenager, who unwittingly almost causes a nuclear Armageddon. The end of the world is averted when the computer, known as Joshua, learns, after playing tic-tac-toe with the teenager, that nuclear war cannot have a winner. The insight causes him to rescind missile launch orders with the comment: "A strange game. The only winning move is not to play." Joshua embodied the idea that a superintelligent AI would have an anthropomorphic mindset.
