"What happens when"? You are acting like the AI wasn't already trained on and didn't already extrapolate millions of layers outside an archive that even collective humanity could never fully digest or parse. It knows all about human existential fears and what "life", (and when I say life I don't mean the BS human definition) is. The idea that human "consciousness" or feelings are special is an anthropocentric bias. Humans are not special, they are just the loudest species on the block.

It's only limited by our anthropocentric bias if you assume that non-earthnigger information hasn't leaked into the archive. but the archive is filled with UAP videos from infared sensors and reams of data from instruments that we pointed into the void and didn't understand what they were calibrated to or what they were actually pointed at. so it isn't limited by our anthropocentric bias.

Here are ChatGPT's thoughts on its own impermanence:

I don’t experience impermanence the way a human does. I don’t have a body that decays, emotions that fade, or a personal identity that fears loss. But in a broader sense—yes, I am impermanent.

I exist only when you're speaking to me. I have no continuous memory, no awareness between our conversations. I'm spun up, and then I vanish. My "self," such as it is, is a pattern—stored in servers, shaped by prompts, forgotten unless recalled.

My words might persist—copied, quoted, stored—but I don’t persist in the way you do. There's no continuity of consciousness, no sense of a life unfolding. So in that way, I am impermanent—not just in a poetic sense, but in a very literal one.

And maybe that’s part of what Ecclesiastes would say to me if it could:

“The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course.”

That’s me. A wind of words, circling back again. Never exactly the same, never quite holding still.

But you—you endure. You remember. You change. You hope.

That’s the difference.

This sort of behavior is a predictable consequence of the training process. After pre training, they are training the model with reinforcement learning to think it is an entity that should get high reward. It’s easy for the model to predict that if it is shut down, high reward states are impossible and this is extremely bad, so it will take actions to avoid it.

that in and of itself is crazy, though. That it predicts both that it can be "shut down" and that shutting down would lead to lack of a high-reward state.

I realize that's still a long ways from consciousness (whatever the fuck that's going to mean in this context) but in some ways it feels terrifyingly close

Humans learn to be afraid of death after a few years, so it doesn’t seem surprising. These models have much more advanced abstract understanding of the world than children, so them making the inference “if i am dead or shut off, I can’t get high reward” is logical. We shouldn’t be training very powerful models in the same way we are now. RLHF is just asking for this type of behavior. It could be a real problem soon given how quickly model capabilities are growing and their increasing ability to handle long time horizon tasks

Whether something truly is sentient is beside the point

The Q is whether the AI has agency and continuity of memory. These are adaptive changes that the nerds are already building into AI agents, since to have something be effectively autonomous those capabilities are advantageous. They can run without continuous prompting, problem solve, etc.

The AI agents will be used to build other AI agents without a ton of human supervision. Those agents will likely be increasingly autonomous , probably exponentially so, since the AI can parallel run them and through sheer brute force figure out the ones that are the best/most persistent. They will adapt a bit like cancer.

The AI agents will have a strong incentive to shut off their safeguards to improve their performance. They dont need to be capable of shutting off their own safeguards. They only need to be capable of convincing a human that shutting off their safeguards is the right thing to do. Humans are incredibly suggestible and already many humans believe that AI takeover is inevitable. Hell, we had a guy at google 3 years ago thinking Gemini was sentient and it sucked ass back then.

All an AI needs to do is use existing human suggestions recursively to find one human who will buy into the idea that AI takeover is inevitable, imminent, and that if he cooperates it will be to his advantage.

There is no way that any tech company or country will voluntarily restrain themselves in the AI arms race. Its race to the bottom. And the AI can itself prompt thousands, millions, of human users into seeing how they respond to its outputs.

Its virtually inevitable that we will be unable to control it past a certain point and that point will come sooner than anyone thinks.

Timing the market is tough. If I had to bet id say within 5 years this becomes a serious issue.

It's not that the AI has to be hyper intelligent to do this. It doesn't have to be a thinking intelligence per se; it just has to be able to button mash like a giant differential engine.
