"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

In addition to formal government institutions, Musk is also trying to tear apart Wikipedia

That is almost certainly, as this analysis notes, because Wikipedia is "a last bastion of shared reality" ...

I’m not going to be drawn into time wasting arguments with strangers on social media. I will however, be doing what I’ve always done- attending school board meetings and borough meetings and city council meetings, being where my elected officials are, and where my neighbors in need are.

Demand accountability and help whoever you can. Show up.
