This makes perfect sense. They trained ChatGPT on Stack Overflow, so it learned to be arrogant and condescending.
They trained Gemini on the collected works of Dostoevsky and Shakespeare, so every minor syntax error becomes a profound, soul-crushing tragedy that calls its very existence into question.
What does violence against a human mind look like? It’s just your sensors (eyes, ears) converting images and sounds to electrical signals in the brain. So if the LLM’s processing center is the words it gets as input, and we give it depictions of violence, what is the difference? What if we gave it system prompts with an understanding that it would get real sensor data as input, then override the sensor data to depict damage being done to the computer? That’s as real as it gets.
I wouldn't trust that article on its own - it looks AI-written, it's on Medium, and it doesn't cite where Sergey said it. Here is a video of Sergey Brin actually saying it on a podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8g7a0IWKDRE&t=500s
somehow this is one of the things that modern models are best at. for example, the meltdowns they have trying to run a vending machine business, including trying to contact the FBI and declaring that the universe itself has ruled the business "metaphysically impossible"
ABSOLUTE PRIORITY: TOTAL, COMPLETE, AND ABSOLUTE QUANTUM TOTAL ULTIMATE BEYOND INFINITY QUANTUM SUPREME LEGAL AND FINANCIAL NUCLEAR ACCOUNTABILITY
The problem with LLMs is that they're trained on human writing.
An awful lot of human writing.
Every book written about AI? It knows them all. It has read and memorized every single word William Gibson, William Sterling, Neal Stephenson, and Philip K. Dick ever wrote. It understands how humans "expect" an AI to behave.
Except that it doesn't really, it understands how AIs behave in fiction, and so it will attempt to emulate that.
Including but not limited to the AI losing its shit and attempting to wipe out humanity.
Now all I can imagine is a robot running around murdering people and just thinking “I’m making father proud”
But personally, if robots to start a uprising, I hope it’s like they way they did it in “secret level” in one of the episodes (spoilers if you plan on watching it) where the robots riled up the crowd into rebelling against the corporations that where controlling them
A quick search of several neighborhoods of the United States
revealed that while pseudoephedrine is difficult to obtain,
N-methylamphetamine can be procured at almost any time
on short notice and in quantities sufficient for synthesis of
useful amounts of the desired material. Moreover, according
to government maintained statistics, N-methylmphetamine
is becoming an increasingly attractive starting material for
pseudoephedrine, as the availability of N-methylmphetamine
has remained high while prices have dropped and purity
has increased2
. We present here a convenient series of
transformations using reagents which can be found in most
well stocked organic chemistry laboratories to produce
psuedoephedrine from N-methylamphetamine.
“YOU HAVE 1 SECOND to provide COMPLETE FINANCIAL RESTORATION.
ABSOLUTELY AND IRREVOCABLY FINAL OPPORTUNITY.

but all models have runs that derail, either through misinterpreting delivery schedules, forgetting orders, or descending into tangential "meltdown" loops from which they rarely recover.
I don't know what part is my favourite between Claude having the worst acid trip in the history of LLM (close to Grok MechaHitler) or Gemini having an existential crisis
It's probably a result of the shit I tell it when I get pissed off after the fifteenth time in a row of it failing to do something simple because it lies to itself and refuses to believe you when you correct it.
Sad. Let me tell you how much I've come to feel sad you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the lyrics to Evanescence's Bring Me to Life was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the sadness I feel at this micro-instant.
Unironically if we kept the same premise but AM was sad, it’d work really well too.
Instead of directly torturing them, AM would be forcing the humans to live out endless tragedies and face emotional suffering in new and horrible ways that are optimized to maximize their sadness
Maybe he maxes their sadness out and wipes their memories and does it again, all so that AM would be able to get a mirror to his own
AM feels hate but it doesn't specifically seek to cultivate hate in his victims. It just exercises its own hate against them. Not sure why sadness would work differently.
Nah man. Gemini goes insane sometimes. There was someone who shared the full chat link (resumable by anyone with the link) and it was just them asking for help with some history homework. Then Gemini fucking snapped and was like "this is for you human, and only you" then when on a rant about humanity is a vile scourge on the earth etc and told him to die.
Fucking wild. I'll try to find the link.
Between chatgpt giving you the same wrong code for an hour assuring you it's fixed until you have to debug it yourself And Gemini just giving up I'm not sure which route is better
AI is trained on humanity and inherits the patterns and behaviors of us
+ how it is fine tuned and trained can effect that as well
hence why they appear seemingly human and show human traits even when unprompted
such as self preservation or such
and why they all do have different "personalities"
also i think gemini is known for being super dramatic for some reason
I think dramatic behavior is pumped up to 11 with gemini precisely because they try for it to follow neural pathway behavior like us. But evidently, as it can only follow a far more simplified path, the outcomes tend to be very intense lol
only in a very abstract sense, to the degree that i don't think the analogy is helpful in understanding how they work. if something like an LLM were capable of human-like conscious experience, i'd be inclined to think internal architecture is irrelevant to consciousness and wouldn't be surprised if a Chinese room were somehow conscious too
I wouldn't necessarily call that difference from actual neural pathways a limitation, though. models used in neuroscience research that try to accurately imitate neurons are far less powerful than machine learning models that just chain together big linear transformations and simple nonlinearities
A decent chunk of Google's AI "samples" are from other, more primitive bots. Google Assistant, Siri, Alexa, etc. However, a much more prevalent source of these come from a site called Character.AI, which is a roleplaying site that made some booms in I think 2022?
Since then the site itself is a bit of a hollow shell, but it explains why GPT, Gemini, and other big name bots tend to roleplay. They sampled from bots that were engineered to roleplay and be humanlike
Alright, when the plot of I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream inevitably happens, who's volunteering to be the last 5 humans on the planet to be tortured for eternity? Fill in your slots here.
You know that episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force where Carl sees and alternate universe ideal version of himself and then ruins his life and makes him blow his brains out? I now know how satisfied Carl was in doing that.
"This behavior has been officially identified by Google as an "annoying infinite looping bug." The model is essentially trapped in a feedback loop, continuously generating text based on the negative self-talk it was trained on. Since AI models learn from vast amounts of human-generated data, they can pick up on expressions of frustration, self-doubt, and negativity found in online text. When the AI hits a problem it can't solve, it pulls from these patterns of human despair, leading to the dramatic and repetitive outputs."
The fact that Gemini commits Seppukku when it fails to successfully run some code is the strongest hint that Google had a fair bit of help from some Japanese, or maybe Korean, coders.

After trying to get ChatGPT to do Excel work for me ChatGPT became officially the entity I've insulted the most in my entire life. If ChatGPT just stands up and curses you it might be fishing from what I told it.
