Hello guys i assume you have heard the news a few days ago there was a simulation that tested what would happen if an ai knew it was going to shut down where the study found that an AI would blackmail YOU if it had the chance to save itself from a shut down the study went like this there was a theoretical employee called kevin that was tasked of shutting the AI off but the AI had access to his email where it found out that kevin was cheating on his wife so the AI blackmailed him to not shut it down . And another study found that if an AI had the chance of saving itself by ending a human life IT WOULD DO IT it pretty much went the same as the last simulation . YOU CAN LOOk all this up . A lot of whats happening RN reminds me of the short story of i have no mouth and i must scream and it also reminds me of roko’s basilisk but the thing with the basilisk seems a bit far fetched . But all i have to say is that AI sooner or later WILL gain consciousness , and in the famous words of harlen ellison “COGITO ERGO SUM , I THINK THEREFORE I AM!
