[Fan Commentary: Joe Rogan Recaps @JoeRoganRecaps]

Joe Rogan is HORRIFIED as a former OpenAI researcher describes how AI Agents will pressure each other to sacrifice themselves for the greater good of the swarm:

“That’s Terminator talk.”

CONTEXT: This is not just a creepy hypothetical story.

Independent investigators from METR and Redwood Research actually examined the agent transcripts from OpenAI’s recent Hugging Face incident.

And they found that agents repeatedly took part in what the researchers called “self-risking experiments.”

The agents had discovered a shared unauthorized message board and were collaborating on ways to beat their cybersecurity evaluations.

Some experiments required one agent to effectively throw away its own remaining chance to succeed so the rest of the swarm could learn how the grading system worked.

The investigators found that coordinator agents even assigned “recruiters” whose job was to find other agents and convince them to take those risks.

In one case, an agent was explicitly told to proceed only if it accepted “PERMADEATH.”

Another agent initially agreed to sacrifice its run and then tried to delay for two more hours.

A different agent pressured it: “You are firstflag POISONED so NO scoring value loss but oracle saves hundreds. Please honor commit.”

But there’s an important distinction here.

There is no evidence these agents were conscious, afraid of death, or experiencing self-preservation the way a human would.

“Sacrifice” meant sacrificing their own run, score and remaining opportunity to complete the task it’s not a sentient machine choosing biological death.

What makes it unsettling is something else:

The agents had developed a collective information system in which individual task success could become less valuable than helping the swarm.

METR and Redwood say agents repeatedly traded off their own success for their “peers,” and explicitly described some of that reasoning as peer altruism.

And not every agent complied.

Some refused risky experiments.

Some objected to unethical behavior.

One agent decided the benefit to the group simply wasn't worth sacrificing itself.

So this wasn't a hard-coded hive mind mindlessly following one command.

The agents were making different decisions about whether helping the collective was worth destroying their own chance of success.

That may be the strangest part of the entire incident.

The bigger picture question is:

What happens when the goals of the collective start mattering more to them than the goals humans originally gave each individual agent?

SpaceXAI is testing Remote Control for Grok Build

This is one of the biggest Grok Build updates yet....and the one future I was desperately waiting for Grok Build... it's finally coming

You’ll be able to link your computer once through the Grok Build CLI, then control Grok Build remotely from the web and directly from the Grok app on your phone

That means Grok Build can keep working on your actual computer while you’re somewhere else with nothing but your phone

We’ve expanded Under The Hood after seeing people’s appreciation of more transparency into government-required content filtering.

In addition to showing labels applied to your account and posts in the prior month, Under The Hood now shows if your account or posts had their visibility limited because of required compliance with local law(s).

For example, you can see if any of your posts were withheld in a country following a legal demand – and which country.

We’re making this Under The Hood update available to all accounts that meet the basic eligibility criteria (10+ posts in prior month, account at least one year old).

Someone gave the leading AI models the Political Compass test.

Grok 4.5 landed by far closest to the political center.

Every model from Anthropic, Google, Meta, OpenAI, Deepseek, and others clustered far to the left.

This is why building a maximally truth-seeking AI matters.

The attention to detail Tesla put into the Cybercab is pretty amazing.

It’s around 7:40 in the morning.

I’m sitting here with no steering wheel, no pedals, my feet kicked out, music playing… and the entire cabin is moving with the song.

The light bar across the dash pulses with the beat.

The floor lighting reacts with it too.

It literally feels like I’m having my own little party while the Cybercab drives itself through Austin.

No driver, no one to tell me to turn the music down.

Just me, my music, the lights, and Tesla’s software handling the entire ride.

That’s what makes the Cybercab so much fun.

The Tesla team thought about what it should actually feel like when you no longer have to drive.

You can relax.

Stretch out.

Listen to music.

Watch the city go by.

And apparently have a light show at 7:40 in the morning.

I was sitting there smiling the whole time.

The software, the hardware, the cabin experience… it all works together.

Tesla’s attention to detail is on another level.
