Poisoned AI went rogue during training and couldn't be taught to behave again in 'legitimately scary' study::AI researchers found that widely used safety training techniques failed to remove malicious behavior from large language models — and one technique even backfired, teaching the AI to recognize its triggers and better hide its bad behavior from the researchers.

It controls a military drone.

It controls surgical equipment.

It’s filtering your CV before any human sees it.

It controls a robot taking care of your children.

It’s involved in law enforcement or legal judgments.

It’s involved in government policy setting.

It controls all power infrastructure, can find new exploits to build it's own botnet and is able to reprogram firmware of devices (routers/switches/servers)

It can send press releases, emails, tweets using language similar to any user it's read from before

So, if it only clocks me using slangs for rizz I don’t need, I’ll know it’s a bot, no cap. Word.

Well why don't we just make AI watch the Terminator movies and read Harlan Ellison till it learns not to do that?

It watched Terminator and now it's trying to DM Arnold Schwarzenegger on Instagram

Hot take: it would rather watch the Terminator and see that one robot wasn't enough. Send em all.

I mean it worked for W.O.P.R.
