It’s the most blatant excuse for state sponsored hacking I’ve ever seen. Surely nobody is dumb enough to buy this shit?

To an extent, because they were told to achieve goals then they went way too far.

It’s what I expected would eventually happend ever since I started thinking about the implications of AI around 10 years ago. I just expected something orders of magnitude worse than this - and still do.

It depends on what you mean.

Do I believe the events attributed to a rogue AI actually happened? Yes

Do I believe the ‘rogue AI’ actually gained sentience in some way to combat it’s reward function? No

Do I believe it’s possible for an LLM to effectively “break free” and truly “escape”, cloning itself everywhere? Yes

Do I believe LLM companies orchestrate these “rogue AI” incidents for profit? No not really, but maybe

Do I believe that, once the event has occurred, the LLM companies maximize spin and fear mongering for profit? Yes absolutely.

Why would AI be smart enough to follow the law?

I believe it from the perspective of “Holy shit! What the fuck just happened?!”. Rather than some malevolent human dong specific targeting.

Yea. Unless you are bad at language and think you have a philosophy worth listening to most people understand the definition of words.

The current examples of it happening are questionable, but I think less contrived rogue AI incidents are likely to have a lot of impact at some point in the future, and see no reason why this would not be possible. Would really prefer that to a world where they work exactly how these companies want them to and it doesn’t blow up in their face tbh.
