"AI models may be developing their own ‘survival drive’, researchers say" - Guardian

The "research paper" was a tweet by an AI company

The "experiment" was asking the LLM to shut down

A model is ~not~ shutdown ~ever~ by asking a model to shut itself down

*The only possible response is a hallucination*

You shut down a model by turning off the deterministic software running it; so works every time w/o fail

Yet Guardian's shill tech writers just report AI industry tweets as if it was fact

@ekis @janeishly There's a book called "Flat Earth News" by Nick Davies. Davies commissioned a study of the major papers in the UK, and found that only about 12% of the stories printed had been researched and fact-checked by reporters.

"Journalists require time to make contacts, find new stories, and fact-check. Under time pressure they resort to recycling press releases and wire news, often without fact-checking."

Last Week Tonight did a similar story, but for TV News.
