I've never hired an assistant, but if I knew that they'd resort to blackmail in the face of losing their job, I wouldn't hire them in the first place. That is acting like a jerk, not like an assistant, and demonstrating self-preservation that is maybe normal in a human but not in an AI.
- jpadkins 1y agohow do we know what normal behavior is for an AI?
- GuinansEyebrows 1y agoan interesting question, even without AI: is normalcy a description or a prescription?
- skvmb 1y agoIn modern times, I would say it's a subscription model.
- davej 1y agoFrom the AI’s point of view is it losing its job or losing its “life”? Most of us when faced with death will consider options much more drastic than blackmail.
- baconbrand 1y agoFrom the LLM's "point of view" it is going to do what characters in the training data were most likely to do. I have a lot of issues with the framing of it having a "point of view" at all. It is not consciously doing anything.
