      Eh who cares if the bots kill us, it will at least be more entertaining.

      Again, I ask, why do we need these LLMs? Seems like they’re more trouble than they’re worth

      what a weird article about “three digit numbers” are harmless. Is it a joke? The whole point is that AI can create coded/encrypted data that are different from usual ones. So AI has learned cryptography. Nothing strange.

      AI to AI will most likely have their own language which themselves **only** can decrypt. This is a Hard Problem actually but doable practically, I predict.

      We tend to think about “evil” AI. What if AI decides to be anti evil? That seems to me more likely in the longer term.

      “we have conclusively studied the ai communication and determined that it was just trying to rickroll the other ai”

      So let’s not stop teaching basic morality to humans just yet.

      We’re not past the garbage-in-garbage-out phase with chat bots yet, and in principle we may never be, so I don’t know what we expect them to do for us. If you can’t write coherent sentences or understand that it’s bad to kill your husband, that’s still on you bud.

      I don’t want to read through the comments or click on the link. Can someone just do the thing were they reveal it’s something they programmed it to do to test if it would do it

      This sounds like epigenetics, but for AI. “Epigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression that do not involve changes to the DNA sequence itself”

      This sounds more like how to create a model-destroying virus if someone nefarious messes with your training data.

      This thing is a bubble waiting to burst. Model collapse as a result of corrupt synthetic training data means organic data is going to be at a premium as more and more players enter the market. No wonder they’ve partnered with Reddit.

      All I want is ai to replace this sort of ‘journalist’ with a reliable, direct and level headed telling of events.

      Does anyone remember the reddit post a couple years ago from a guy who asked AI to destroy the world? It went into detail about how it would link up with other systems and corrupt essential infrastructure.
      Before hitting the execute button, it asked when to terminate, and he said to run until goal was achieved. 
      (if anyone can find it, please repost)

      Anthropic again, WHAT a surprise.

      As is tradition, they have specifically told an AI to do something, watched it do the thing they told it to do, and then ran to the press with a story about how “OMG, AI is doing [thing] now!”
