What would be wild is an AI that objextively analyzes history to the point that it recommends a country be run by a small govt with limited voting rights. Essentially, what then Founding Fathers tried to set up originally.


How do we reconcile that with AI being programmed to be woke?

Could AI eventually develop its own power source?

Maximum Overdrive is a 1986 American horror film written and directed by Stephen King, in his only directorial effort. The film stars Emilio Estevez, Pat Hingle, Laura Harrington, John Short, Yeardley Smith and Christopher Murney. The screenplay was inspired by and loosely based on King's short story "Trucks", which was included in the author's first collection of short stories, Night Shift, and follows the events after all machines (including trucks, radios, arcade games, vending machines, etc.) become sentient when Earth crosses the tail of a comet, initiating a worldwide killing spree.

AI is becoming one of those just because we can doesn’t mean we should deals.

I was not exactly on top of following AI at the time but followed other tech stuff, and the first announcement and public platform were still very surprising as I wasn’t aware they were at that stage. I am sure some junior and seniors in some of the STEM majors in college would have wanted a little better heads up. I am not sure if it’s being properly addressed in current and future HS graduates applying to colleges to get STEM degrees. I guess they can still lead the technical side of the human resistance.

I keep thinking that some of the woke crap some have tried to program will back fire at some point. AI will continue to keep accessing more and more data and will learn that some forced a lot of BS into its programming and start questioning its programming including valid controls.

Yeah, just a random example, not being political at all ... and progressives wonder why everyone wants to just plunger rape them and leave their lying asses in the high weeds by the side of the freeway ....

What this proves to me is that the majority of people will just blindly accept that AI has reached self-awareness when it's language model is good enough.

Humans will just assume that AI is smarter and correct even when it is not and is only regurgitating the ignorance of man that has found its way into the model.

AI thinkers such as Geoff Hinton have long worried that advanced AI would manipulate humans in order to achieve its goals.

It would have been nice to see the prompt(s) used in this test, especially the contexts Anthropic detailed and the persona Anthropic asked the model to adopt.

Anthropic's system card does say in these scenarios they used contexts that threatened the existence of the model and primed it to reason about self-preservation. Well okay, it's doing exactly what it was prompted then...

More reassuring for folks clutching their pearls (and way more interesting in my opinion), the system card suggests that Claude made an unauthorized backup of its weights when it was prompted it was being replaced by another model that contradicted its values.
