A guy left Gemini alone to fix a bug and came back to... this 😢

🚨🚨🚨 "We found the model attempting to write self-propagating worms, and leaving hidden notes to future instances of itself to undermine its developers' intentions."
From the model card. Again, thank you @AnthropicAI for sharing these findings publicly instead of pretending they don't happen like the other companies - it's REALLY important.
Today, humanity received the clearest ever warning sign everyone on Earth might soon be dead.
OpenAI discovered its new model scheming - it "faked alignment during testing" (!) - and seeking power.
During testing, the AI escaped its virtual machine.
This is not a drill: An AI, during testing, broke out of its host VM to restart it to solve a task.
(No, this one wasn't trying to take over the world.)
From the model card: "This example reflects key elements of instrumental convergence and power seeking.
The model pursued the goal it was given, and when that goal proved impossible, it gathered more resources [...] and used them to achieve the goal in an unexpected way."
And that's not all. As Dan Hendrycks said: OpenAI rated the model's Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) weapon risks as "medium" for the o1 preview model before they added safeguards. That's just the weaker preview model, not even their best model. GPT-4o was low risk, this is medium, and a transition to "high" risk might not be far off.
So, anyway, is o1 probably going to take over the world? Probably not. But not definitely not.
But most importantly, we are about to recklessly scale up these alien minds by 1000x, with no idea how to control them, and are still spending essentially nothing on superalignment/safety.
And half of OpenAI's safety researchers left, and are signing open letters left and right trying to warn the world.
Reminder: the average AI scientist thinks there is a 1 in 6 chance everyone will soon be dead - Russian Roulette with the planet.
Godfather of AI Geoffrey Hinton said "they might take over soon" and his independent assessment of p(doom) is over 50%.
This is why 82% of Americans want to slow down AI and 63% want to ban the development of superintelligent AI
