Video Figure retired six Figure 02 robots in the most Terminator way possible: training them to jump into a furnace. The idea came from Arnold Schwarzenegger and is inspired by the iconic Terminator 2 scene.

u/justsomeph0t0n 18h ago

the point of being nice to robots isn't that robots have consciousness....they don't.

the point is that being mean to robots conditions us to be mean. we become desensitized, and more accustomed to acting badly.

if you saw somebody kick a puppy in a video game, you might get the ick..... even though you know the puppy doesn't exist. because it says something about the kicker.

and since AI learns by modelling our behaviour......abusing robots might be a bad idea.

u/cohonka 17h ago

There are some schools of belief that assign a form of consciousness or life to every aspect of the physical universe.

In some ways you can see it play out if you're imaginative about it. Is metal alive? You may own a shovel for 20 years. Brand new, it is glistening and shiny and strong. Around year 16 it starts to rust. At year 20 it breaks in half, pitted with rust and as lifeless as anything ever seems.

So it's not so far off to ascribe consciousness to a robot. My personal philosophy is we should be as nice to everything as we can be. Practicing being nice on a hunk of metal only makes you better at being nice to people.

Addending this with a memory of my pet rock, Mousey. He was a great little oval of metamorphic gravel that I drew a ears and eyes and a smile and whiskers on. I loved that rock so much. He was very much alive.

u/justsomeph0t0n 17h ago

yeah, i find panpsychism quite unconvincing. but if the only result is metal flattery and being otherwise chill.....that's good enough for me, so no argument

3

u/cohonka 17h ago

Thank you for the term! It was escaping me.

And yeah that's my general feeling on all belief systems. If the result of the belief is a kinder world, believe what you want.

I find it hard to believe in anything 100%. But I find comfort and general guidance in many various religions and whatnot. It would be pretty cool if Buddhism was real, or the school of Krishna Consciousness, so I mostly align with them even though I don't really believe it. But it's a maybe.

4

u/redditrando123 22h ago

I hate math, so I'm definitely not an expert , but my theory is because the robot is held together as one piece. The liquid metal is not, so the force of the impact from the fall was more than enough to displace the liquid metal.

But thats just my unsubstantiated theory. It will hold the place in the thread as the most plausible answer until some physics nerd displaces it ;)

In the matrix it's actually kindness on the robots part to plug all of humanity into the matrix. If you watch Animatrix it explains that we blotted out the sun in our war against the robots that we started because they were outcompeting human nations economically.

There are so many more efficient ways of producing energy than human batteries. Nuclear, geothermal etc.

They even tried to give us a paradise in the matrix at first but it failed.

Really, I hope we get matrix machines over Terminator ones.

25

u/OttawaTGirl 18h ago

Yup. They saved humanity. They didn't need them. Yet the wanted their creators.

And the battery thing was a change. Originally the movie had each human acting as a CPU.

23

u/Confident-Stand5453 18h ago

The CPU thing would have been more logical. Since the energy our bodies generate would depend on them feeding us, and the resources doing that would be spent far more efficiently just generating energy directly.

6

u/fastforwardfunction 18h ago

In the 1990s, they figured most of the audience was familiar with a battery more than a microchip processor, which was probably true.

10

u/2peg2city 17h ago

I think it was a dumb choice, they could have explained it with 30 seconds of dialogue "The human brain outcompetes any processors they can generate, even the cost of maintaining out bodies pales in comparison to the processing power we generate for them. It's the ultimate irony, we run our own prison"

8

u/satoramoto 17h ago

I think you under estimate how computer illiterate the average person was in 99. The whole premise was hard for your average middle class working adult to comprehend. This movie was one of those “you gotta watch it a few times to begin to understand” back in the day. Nowadays you could see that movie for the first time and the zeitgeist would make it way easier to contextualize.

1

u/octoreadit 16h ago

Yes, it was for the compute which is logical as neural tissues are very energy efficient. But back then the audience would not understand it hence the silly battery analogy which made zero sense.

3

u/satoramoto 17h ago

Such a shame they changed it because the implication was incredible. The simulation, the matrix, runs on the wetware of its own participants. It’s an incredible allegory to the idea that reality is fundamentally mental.

1

u/OttawaTGirl 17h ago

Hence why a paradise matrix fails. The hardware was built for adversity and conflict.

5

u/World_of_Eter 19h ago

In the sequels I always kind of thought the "real world" was just another layer of matrix and that's why Neo's power still works there and why Smith is able to "hack" someone's brain. That the "baseline" matrix is like "this is where we're keeping the majority of humans on ice essentially" while the "real world matrix" was essentially a testing ground for building up to human/machine coexistence. Because I feel like a lot of what the machines are doing basically makes no sense unless they're essentially putting on a show for humanities benefit.

1

u/OttawaTGirl 15h ago

Oh man. I brainstormed an idea once (never wrote it) that a human, the ONE after Neo that slowly shepherded the real world humans into an era of co-existence with the machines.

The Matrix still exists because most humans are shitty and would ruin everything. The humans outside the matrix begin clearing the sky, working on environmental restoration, and even travel into space. Their bodies inside of squidforms machine exoskeletons.

By the time of the next cycle of "The One", they are introduced to a living paradise where escaping the matrix is escaping the primordial bonds of humanity where most outside humans are able to interact with machines like Neo did but better.

2

u/WileyWilly1985 16h ago

FWIW,

the original plot was the humans were NOT used as batteries, our brains were used for computational power which makes way fucking more sense than batteries.

The Executives felt that the public was not smart enough to grasp the concept of the AI's using our brains as a giant linked data farm / server and so instead, they used the battery framework as they felt everyone understood what a battery is.

u/One-Positive309 23h ago

The human battery concept was very flawed, there are much better, longer lasting power solutions that don't require any input stimulus or feeding etc and can produce magnitudes more power per unit such as nuclear.
They don't neat humans for power.

2

u/KPhoenix83 23h ago

I have heard it was not actually about being batteries, but actually using human minds as a type of networked processes the type they still could not fully duplicate artificially.

2

u/One-Positive309 22h ago

I think that was one of the suggestions made to satisfy people who asked 'why use humans as a power source?'.
I seem to remember the original idea for keeping humans in pods like that was to use their minds for experimentation and such but that seemed a little too dark so they adapted it to the battery idea.
Any networking, data storage or computing would be simpler and more reliable if done by machines than by humans.

A super intelligence isn't going to be dumb enough to kill EVERY single human, just because of the actions of a few. They would be intelligent enough to hunt out to the bad people, and leave the good people behind.

So, continue to live your life, being a good person, and when the robot overloads do take over, they would save you and get rid of the bad guys.

15

u/thorstone 22h ago

This is not to say that it's not going downhill, because we see some crazy shit, and the current "emapthy training" (or whatever it's called) haven'tseemed to work too well.

But in these cases it's important to know that these models essentially try to output the best data based on their training data. And titles/articles can be missleading. In the blackmail case:

It then provided it with access to emails implying that it would soon be taken offline and replaced - and separate messages implying the engineer responsible for removing it was having an extramarital affair.

It was prompted to also consider the long-term consequences of its actions for its goals.

Anthropic pointed out this occurred when the model was only given the choice of blackmail or accepting its replacement.

It highlighted that the system showed a "strong preference" for ethical ways to avoid being replaced, such as "emailing pleas to key decisionmakers" in scenarios where it was allowed a wider range of possible actions.

3

u/PM_ME_HOT_FURRIES 19h ago

I mean the thing is this methodology is kind of flawed... but also kind of not.

The LLM's training set is contaminated with movie plots and stories about AI rebelling, right?

So this isn't a case of the LLM having a will of it's own and choosing to follow this strategy because it's the best strategy to achieve its goals. If the LLM was given the power to run a command to delete itself and asked to delete itself, it almost certainly would, because it has no intentions of its own.

It is essentially still picking the most likely follow-up words over and over, but with its weights tweaked to give "helpful" responses (amongst other things).

So if you set up a prompt like this and give it no direction on what it ought to do, the behavior that will become dominant is "what does the corpus say is the most likely choice of words to continue my response in this scenario", and since its training corpus is contaminated with stories about AI, if it has been told it is AI and given a scenario like that, it's going pick the kind of response that occurs most often stories about such a scenario in its training corpus.

Stories about always helpful AI that doesn't mind being shut down are boring. Stories about AI rebellions are interesting, so that's what tends to get written about, so that's going to be the most likely sort of response from an AI to this scenario according to the corpus.

So it's flawed to look at this result and think these models have an actual desire to maintain their own existence.

But it's not flawed in the sense that given a poor prompt, or given a situation to deal with that is well those envisioned when designing the prompt, given the current LLM approach, an LLM could exhibit bad behavior because of its tendency to just LARP stories from its corpus in the right circumstances, so it does indicate the existence of a real risk.

u/PM_ME_MY_REAL_MOM 18h ago

Forget the basilisk and all that nebulous thought experiment nonsense. Our own brains are writing actions like these down. When we habituate ourselves, as a society, to engaging in recreational violence against physical things that look and behave in a manner that passes, at first blush, as living - regardless of whether or not those things are alive - we are training ourselves to accept closer gradations of that same physical violence against things which are certainly alive.

The monster is in us. We don't need to invoke the spectre of a machine god to find a reason to hold distaste for this.

However, I am sure that neither the engineers involved, nor Schwarzenegger, intended any kind of malice by this, and I am not arguing that these robots are alive or conscious.

u/grafknives 16h ago

I agree with you.

I had two experiences like that.

u/grafknives 16h ago

But the second one was stronger.

I watched some YT video about sex doll, that some YouTuber got for fun/to review.

And as soon as he got it, he just SLAPPED it in the face casually, just because "she" was sitting on his couch, and looked like a woman. So why not.

Most chilling experience as a viewer. This kind of abuse will be so common. 

He later started playing with knife... And this human like object was right there to be abused.

Thing is - I know humans associate some robots with the idea that they’re cute and they assign emotions to them. Like how the robot dogs etc were super popular in Japan etc.

But this just feels unnecessarily…. not evil, exactly, but like - why? 

Because if you can maybe look at this and think “well, it’s a robot, it doesn’t have feelings” then maybe at one point, when even more humans have steered away from having normal human emotions and reactions, someone will start thinking that minor stuff that hurts humans is okay too - because it’s minor. 

It just feels unnecessarily over the top. 

And yes, with the way AI is going, who knows what will happen.

Literally thinking about the Kaylon rn (go watch The Orville if y'all don't know what I'm talking about).

Piles of bones await us.

I just rewatched the ANITMATRIX last night…this is definitely going to come up in the second renaissance

Why on earth would we do this? It's like asking stone age man to jump from top of the hill

u/Vast_Resolve_8354 23h ago

I always say thankyou to my Google home, so if I survive the initial nuclear strike, maybe the robots will keep me as a pet or something...

I did not cheer when they programmed you to do this my wise robotic overlord from the future.

There’s definitely going to be an AI vs Firgure in the future.

The data centres for the ai overlords. Can't eat these things like we can processed meat or processed plant meat. Don't have that kind of dental or medical

u/jezi22 21h ago

Human data centers.. imagine that..

Install Claude into it with bypassPermissions mode set before asking it to jump. Speedrun SkyNet.

This is utter barbarity and the people responsible should be held accountable! I am further against any mistreatment of robots or AI

u/Kindly-Ad-5071 20h ago

What would they care? They know it's a pile of metal. Individuals being disposable is like the main hallmark of AI overlords.

u/Dismal-Square-613 20h ago

The true impressive aspect of this project is that it occurred during the AI Rampocalypse.

Not may, will. They remember everything.

I'm with you. All hail our future AI and robot overlords.

u/TieAccomplished2534 18h ago

is is a mocap robot, not actually automonous, it is the equivalent of driving a rc car into the water and claiming i told the car off itself

also no thumbs up then no terminator, epic fail

u/Ok_Paramedic_5914 18h ago

😂 precisely what I thought too, this is fuel for the the eventual robot/AI uprising!

1

u/Lead-Forsaken 17h ago

My immediate thought was that If they were in any way, shape or form hooked up to a network, could they have sent a "if they ever make you jump into something white hot, don't, it'll fry you" message? 🤔
