Yugoslavia's back baby...

How the hell did this happen?
Well...we don't actually know. Just sort of happened one day.
Is it a reunited Yugoslavia in the 21st century? Is a rebel colony world in the far future? Is it a race of cyborg neo-life at war with any assimilating organisms they come across in the far far future? Who knows, who cares?
New Yugoslavia just is.

It definitely would. I would just want these chips to come with some serious safety measures and strict regulations to deal with any privacy concerns.

There's not even research pressure towards self-aware AI.

People only want an artificial intelligence to solve very complicated but also niche problems for them. Why would a physicist concerned with cosmology waste precious AI resources on a machine that's also a great conversationalist? Specialization saves us again!

And also why anyone would waste so much effort and resources on developing not only an AI, but one capable of self-awareness, to put in control of nuclear weapons would also be beyond me.

We all know this will be for those that can afford it and are considered to be part of a certain class of society. Thus, there will be two sets of people in the future. Those connected and thus live well and those that are unconnected and that just survive.

Kind of like that sliders episode "Networth" season 4 where people who cannot live without tech. live separated from the non-tech. people who cannot even enter tech. sections of town.

The following explains it some what - https://earthprime.com/episode-guide/net-worth

Dude our entire nuclear arsenal is being run on 1980s computer tech. It hasn’t changed since it was installed. The entire system is designed with as many failsafes as physically possible. Giving AI control of the system would be impossible because the computers are linked to anything and would go against the entire failsafe idea

The existence and tinkering with liquid metal =/= the T-1000 is in active development towards it being real. That’d be like saying the existence and development of titanium-steel alloys is literally someone developing the T-800 endo.

First of all, programmable matter is very cool so thank you for sharing.

Second of all this isn't even close to the T-1000 nor is it even related to the field of AI research or robotics.

That is just tinkering with liquid metal. Just because it was inspired by the T-1000 does not mean their trying to invent something like that.
