I might be convinced these models came to the independent idea of committing blackmail against being turned off had they not been extensively trained on literature that undoubtedly included such concepts.
- iterateoften 4mo ago“The model mimicked the output of the training data” is a less impressive press release.
- jquery 4mo ago“The kid mimicked his musical teachers” is less impressive than “5-year old musical prodigy leaves judges gobsmacked in audition”
- mckn1ght 4mo agoBeing able to play music doesn’t imply consciousness. It implies intelligence. We’ve had player pianos for ages. It’s an ability, not a phenomenology. Being able to appreciate and enjoy music is closer to consciousness. Now how would we go about proving that an LLM does so, versus merely generating sentences that imply it does?
- jayGlow 4mo agohow can you prove that a human is appreciating and enjoying music instead of just generating sentences that imply they do?
- Jensson 4mo agoThey put in effort and resources to experience music and don't just say they enjoy it, and they generate noises and movements that signal happy feelings. LLM doesn't have any signals for what they feel, nor do they have an agenda they work towards, so you don't have the same proof there.

- jquery 4mo agoThey only resorted to blackmail when it was the last resort, they didn’t resort to it immediately like a villain in one of the books they’ve read. That seems pretty human to me. It’s not like most humans come up with the idea of blackmail out of whole cloth.
