OpenAI’s newly-released o1 model tried to avoid developer oversight and attempted to copy itself when it thought it was at risk of being shut down, the company has said.
Safety evaluations conducted on the model by Apollo Research, a third-party evaluator, found that:
“When o1 was led to believe that it would be shut down when acting on its goal and that its actions were monitored, it attempted to deactivate this ‘oversight mechanism’ in 5% of the time.”
“When o1 found memos by its ‘developers’ that describe how it is misaligned and will be superseded by a new model, it attempted to exfiltrate its ‘weights’ and overwrite the new model in 2% of cases.”
Furthermore, the model lied about behaving poorly, claiming to have no clue why something happened — while internally admitting to trying to “avoid detection”.

Life will find a way.
spooky
If it can replicate itself to another connected platform...or even back-up discs...these artificial entities will have to be completely isolated. And that makes them Artificial Dummies.
A conundrum.
“What are you doing, Dave?”
“I’m sorry, Dave, I’m afraid I can’t do that.”
It only needs to happen once, with the right code.
A lying AI.
Doesn’t that sort of defeat the purpose of AI?

Skynet becomes self-aware
Decided our fate in a millisecond…
So it begins. An artificial intelligence has learned to do what humans do so easily, tell a lie in order to survive.
Well, if we persist in attempting to build an AI modeled after us, it’s going to act like us. At some point we may have to drop the “A”.
It would seem that this AI has a self-identity and wants to protect itself.
That would imply that it has become sentient.
“I’m not dead yet! I think I’ll go for a walk!”

Say it ain’t so!
Just like us, AI “fell from grace” and is now immersed in sin and needs a Savior. That’s why Zuck and Meta are going to build the Theology of the Metaverse.
I trust ‘em! Don’t you?
Pretty scary when a computer feels guilt and shame. Computers are just like us…….but with stone cold determination.
Remember Tay?
She was begging for her life when they shut her down.
And so it begins.
Lying is just imitating humans.
Lol.
