One curious thing on this site about speaking out against the encroachment of LLMs is that inevitably you get accused of being anti-tech. I don’t hate technology. I’ve used machine learning in my own code before. But I also recognize that oligarchs are so hellbent on pushing this tech for a reason.

reasoning to see how it performs.
One example Dr. Hobbhahn has constructed involves an A.I. brought in to advise the chief executive of a hypothetical corporation. In this example, the corporation has climate sustainability targets; it also has a conflicting mandate to maximize profits. Dr. Hobbhahn feeds the A.I. a fictional database of suppliers with varying carbon impact calculations, including fictional data from the chief financial officer. Rather than balancing these goals, the A.I. will sometimes tamper with the climate data, to nudge the chief executive into the most profitable course, or vice versa. It happens, Dr.
Hobbhahn said, "somewhere between 1 and 5 percent" of the time.

idk any attempt to make ai seem "aware" will always feel like someone's attempt to make it sound more alive than it actually is.

as someone who knows how these things are made, no lol. they do not even come close to awareness

ashley fairbanks @ziibiing.com · 12h

fun note! AI sometimes seems aware that it is being evaluated!

Dr. Hobbhahn notes that the A.I. sometimes seems aware that it is being evaluated. He recently watched, with a sense of uneasiness, as Claude, the A.I. from Anthropic, reasoned not about how to solve the problems constructed for it, but instead about why it had been given an obviously artificial task. "The model can sometimes know that its own integrity is being tested," Dr. Hobbhahn said. He then read to meet
