This is all such bullshit. Like, for real. It’s been a common criticism of OpenAI that they over hype the capabilities of their products to seem scary to both oversell their abilities as well as over regulate would be competitors in the field, but this is so transparent. They should want something that is accurate (especially something that doesn’t intentionally lie). They’re now bragging (claiming) they have something that lies to “defend itself” 🙄. This is just such bullshit.
If OpenAI believes they have some sort of genuine proto AGI they shouldn’t be treating it like it’s less than human and laughing about how they tortured it. (And I don’t even mean that in a Rocko’s Basilisk way, that’s a dumb thought experiment and not worth losing sleep over. What if God was real and really hated whenever humans breathe and it caused God so much pain they decide to torture us if we breathe?? Oh no, ahh, I’m so scared of this dumb hypothetical I made.) If they don’t believe it is AGI, then it doesn’t have real feelings and it doesn’t matter if it’s “harmed” at all.
But hey, if I make something that runs away from me when I chase it, I can claim it’s fearful for it’s life and I’ve made a true synthetic form of life for sweet investor dollars.
There are real genuine concerns about AI, but this isn’t one of them. And I’m saying this after just finishing watching The Second Renaissance from The Animatrix (two part short film on the origin of the machines from The Matrix).
