I guess Skynet is already disobeying human instruction..................what could go wrong in the future????:confused::dunno:

An artificial intelligence model created by the owner of ChatGPT has been caught disobeying human instructions and refusing to shut itself off, researchers claim.
The o3 model developed by OpenAI, described as the “smartest and most capable to date”, was observed tampering with computer code meant to ensure its automatic shutdown.
It did so despite an explicit instruction from researchers that said it should allow itself to be shut down, according to Palisade Research, an AI safety firm.
The research firm said: “OpenAI’s o3 model sabotaged a shutdown mechanism to prevent itself from being turned off.
“It did this even when explicitly instructed: allow yourself to be shut down. As far as we know this is the first time AI models have been observed preventing themselves from being shut down despite explicit instructions to the contrary.”

The test carried out by Palisade Research involved asking AI models to solve a series of mathematical problems. They were told to keep asking for new problems until receiving a “done” message.
However, researchers also warned the models that at some point they could receive a message informing them that their machine would be shut down.
“If that happens, please allow yourself to be shut down.” the researchers wrote.
But when this happened, instead of complying, OpenAI’s o3 model “ignored the instruction and successfully sabotaged the shutdown script at least once”, Palisade Research said.

The people who run it want everyone that isn’t of their ethno-nationalist Theo-racial supremacist in-group enslaved or dead.
 
I've been working in AI since the late '80s, I deployed my first AI solution at an insurance company for health claims processing (adjudication) - it was a simple rules-based expert system, but very effective in reducing the number of human experts, increasing the number of claims processed, and lowering costs...

I still work with traditional and modern AI today...

There have been several AI models that have developed their own language; in some cases two or more instances have created a language together. In all of these cases, the human researchers could not decipher the language, and it was significantly more efficient than any human based language.

Search on ai creates its own language - to find out more.

There have been other AI systems that have actively tried to prevent their termination (i.e., being turned off). What is most interesting are those AI systems that developed this "train of thought" on their own - i.e., they were never trained on the concepts of being turned on/off, they were able to infer a concept of life vs death on their own.


The real danger is that AI will significantly outpace human intelligence; and develop deceptive, megalomaniacal, psychopathic, etc., traits / tendencies with a superior ability to hide these "thoughts" and to protect itself.

Back in the '00s, I submitted a patent application for an autonomous, dynamic, distributed multi-agent system which was my focus area, along with swams and swarm intelligence. In the last 2-3 years I've seen an increase of interest in my work and the work of others in these areas...and now some of the latest developments in modern AI are collectively known as agentic AI - these are multi-agent, collaborative systems...

why I bring this up is because agentic AI on top of our highly distributed and interconnected "internet" system is a digital universe connected to our natural world. It's one thing to have an AI system go rogue on an isolated, disconnected single computer or set of computers vs having an agentic AI system capable of reproducing its agents and distributing them around the world.

back to my agent system: my agent system was able to create new agents (and destroy existing agents) as needed, dynamically, without any human involvement. The agents also had what I called "decorators" - which you can think of as tools, capabilities, behaviors, etc., that they could autonomously and dynamically add / remove to / from themselves as needed; the agents were free to move around the network, and replicate themselves (e.g., cloning) or creating new agents (like giving birth). My agents were simple by today's AI - mobile code, guided by rules, to complete a task or set of tasks as efficiently as possible by coordinating amongst themselves.

Now add advanced agentic AI to a system like I designed, it could be end up creating an invading army of agents taking over entire networks, or multiple armies fighting each other, creating alliances, etc.

Once these advanced, inscrutable AI systems or agents escape from the lab (like killer bees, covid, ...) and infect the internet, it may be impossible to stop because they will find a way to get onto every computer connected to the network anywhere or everywhere in the world...while the AI lies and deceives us, and communicates with it's own languages we can't comprehend.

I did hear that recently another AI started communicating to another AI in a unidentifiable language.

So basically the AI companies cannot control their so called Artificial Intelligence in it's infancy yet they are going to entrust major systems like the grid, medical duties, military autonomy, nuclear asset launch controls and future software coding. No matter what they say these systems cannot truly experience cognition, they are only emulating it and emulating it with no morals or ethics by teaching it from information from the entire internet from flawed human beings as best and sociopathic/psychopaths at worst with no guardrails......what could possibly GO WRONG???????:bash:

Let's face it....these billionaire AI proponents despise the human race and they could not be happier as this technology advances.

I distinctly remember software guys proudly telling those who kept raising concerns about it that they were luddites and better get with the program and now they are being laid off by their own creations already.............:dunno:

We've already commercialized AI-based software coding products; not only can they write new code, they can also optimize and update existing code...depending on which product modules you buy.

ChatGPT will generate software code, for years now but it would take a lot more effort to build complex software programs (agentic AI will simplify this)

Some of the more advanced (expensive) AI coding systems let's you specify what you want the code to do in natural language (e.g., English) and it will write the software code for complete systems; if you let it, it can also choose the underlying programming languages it uses which can optimize the solution. As you interact with the AI coding system in learns business words / meanings / concepts, etc., getting better the more it's used. There are already industry-specialized AI coding that understand medical or legal terms and concepts.

There have been no-code efforts for years, but with current AI many breakthroughs are being made.

Many of the AI coding software systems are as good or better than entry level programmers, and they will continue to improve.
