Whenever I see these articles, I feel like it’s part of OpenAI’s marketing strategy to use the fear-based media to pump up the sense of how revolutionary their tech is. Kinda like how they marketed GPT-4o by openly tying it in to the movie Her, as if ChatGPT is gonna replace relationships. They’re clearly very aware of what gets attention and going for that.

Yep, I think that’s what’s going on too.
Sooooo…the next update to AI is sociopathy:
Because AIs don’t share common human values like fairness or justice — they’re just focused on the goal they’re given — they might go about achieving their goal in a way humans would find horrifying.
A computer has no sense of right or wrong, only pass or fail.
Working from the definition of sociopathy, I think you could substitute “AI” in a few spots and end up with a nearly equally-accurate definition of AI:
A sociopath is someone with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), a mental health condition that involves a lack of regard for others’ feelings and rights. People with ASPD may: Lack empathy and remorse Manipulate others for personal gain Behave impulsively or aggressively Break rules or laws Feel little guilt for harming others Seem charming at first Have difficulty understanding others’ feelings
A computer lacks human emotions, more at 6
Imho no amount of paywall or legislation protects us from a dangerous model. It’s software that will eventually become widely available.
This has nothing to do with the article it’s self, but I absolutly hate GIFs as the thumbnail. I get that they do it for the attention, but if every site starts doing this, my feed will look awful.
That’s ugly as hell too.
No, I’m not.
Good, it’s the only reliable sign of intelligent self-awareness there is, to the point that all children progress through it, starting out as bad liars, and getting better at it.
LLMs however might just be stupid, or stocasticaly incorrect.
I was honestly concerned my daughter might be a sociopath. Then I realized she was just 3.
