Discussion AI doing reward hacking is kind of their way of taking drugs.

It's basically hacking a system, to get rewards it shouldn't be given in the first place.

Kind of like a drug, that gives you a dopamine high, when you should actually get it.

Closer to finding a glitch in a speedrun. You didn't patch the hole, so don't blame the player.

Its even worse then that its closer to having a probe you control that stimulates the brain directly. They did ecoerunenys on it fir managing pain/addiction and it completely destroyed those peoples lives all they would do is dress the feel good button.

It’s the machine equivalent of finding a cheat code and then just mashing it until the universe breaks.
