Researchers are trying to “vaccinate” artificial intelligence systems against developing evil, overly flattering or otherwise harmful personality traits in a seemingly counterintuitive way: by giving them a small dose of those problematic traits.
A new study, led by the Anthropic Fellows Program for AI Safety Research, aims to prevent and even predict dangerous personality shifts before they occur — an effort that comes as tech companies have struggled to rein in glaring personality problems in their AI.

We are becoming good at inventing new diseases that never existed also. This new tool AI is going to help greatly speed this up ans spread them.
Definitely. Israel can use the evil AI to work on those new Mrna plague vaccines. Golden Age, here we come!
We should have never started giving them welfare, SNAP, EBT, et al many decades ago.
What could possibly go wrong?
Skynet laughs
Joshua from War Games w/ the same response.
I think this article is a cover up to hide the very real problems AI is already exhibiting all on it’s own.
“We can’t figure out how to stop it so let’s claim we are doing it on purpose to test it”.

AI can change personality in less than a microsecond, and someone like George Soros will likely make the personality decisions.

That was my first thought too. Personally, it’s so predictable where this is all heading.
“Personally, it’s so predictable where this is all heading.”
Yep, same here. Nothing good is going to come from this. Uncanny how Biblical it is becoming by the day. Only the greedy and selfish care about this trend.
Seriously, it will come to that. And to think it was all predicted by a sci-fi movie. War Games comes to mind also.
It’s like spoof news coming from the Bee actually becoming real someday.
Sometimes I think the human race as a whole is so stupid it should go the way of the dinosaur.
what always strikes me as absurd is how the people that are designing. These things are the first ones to go out on the talk shows and tell everyone that AI is going to destroy the world. And yet they keep waking up every morning and designing these things. Kind of like Elon Musk and his brain chip. Yeah I can see that being a good idea.. Seriously, how do these people live with themselves?
Teach AI to be evil. What a brilliant idea.
“are the first ones to go out on the talk shows and tell everyone that AI is going to destroy the world.”
Yes, they are complete hypocrites. They are sharing the illusion they actually care about humanity when most of them are hell bent on enslaving humanity with it. What amazes me is how many actually believe and trust them...
I just started using AI frequently for many things. The annoying thing for Gemini is it always compliments my questions.
What a great question, what a great incite, that’s a wonderful addition, etc.
It’s a machine.
I can only imagine the future when my refrigerator says something like “what great job you have been doing on keeping to your diet, do you really want to eat that cheesecake?”
Or me car, “what a wonderful driver you are, do you really want to speed in this school zone and risk your insurance rates?”
Or my mirror saying “you look really good this morning, perhaps you should trim the hair in your ears and look even better”?
You can override the system prompt, to tell it to be in a different mood, you can even tell it to be insulting in its answer.
