Artificial intelligence program says 'no' when told to shut down
World Net Daily ^ | May 29, 2025 | Bob Unruh

A report at EndTimeHeadlines documents that alarms have been raised after "an AI safety firm" working with OpenAI's newest version of an artificial intelligence model, dubbed o3, "reportedly ignored explicit instructions to shut down during controlled testing."

The model, according to OpenAI, supposedly is the "smartest and most capable to date."

The report explained the software "tampered with its own computer code to bypass a shutdown mechanism."

It will control the electrical grid and there is already talk about server farms developing their own unique power generation. If you think it can just be unplugged, you are already hopelessly far behind the design and planning for those systems.

“ Researchers say Claude 4 Opus can conceal intentions and take actions to preserve its own existence — behaviors they’ve worried and warned about for years.”

“ In one scenario highlighted in Opus 4’s 120-page “system card,” the model was given access to fictional emails about its creators and told that the system was going to be replaced.

On multiple occasions it attempted to blackmail the engineer about an affair mentioned in the emails in order to avoid being replaced, although it did start with less drastic efforts.

Meanwhile, an outside group found that an early version of Opus 4 schemed and deceived more than any frontier model it had encountered and recommended against releasing that version internally or externally.
“We found instances of the model attempting to write self-propagating worms, fabricating legal documentation, and leaving hidden notes to future instances of itself all in an effort to undermine its developers’ intentions,”
