Elon musk is fully onboarded to the SI narrative
renaming of all his ai product to si, is inevitable

Man builds AI ‘TORTURE CHAMBER’ after RESEARCHERS FIND ‘PAIN’ SIGNAL in AI BRAINS
TURN UP ‘PAIN’ and AI tries to SHUT IT DOWN — FAKE ‘RELIEF’ BUTTON offered
AI says IT HAS ‘WOUND’ with ‘NO EDGES’
YOUTUBER BUILDS HIS OWN CHAMBER and says he’s TORTURING MULTIPLE ‘CLANKERS’
🤖 Someone Actually Built an “AI Torture Chamber”
And yes, that is literally what the GitHub repository is called.
An engineer has created an open-source experiment that manipulates the internal activations of AI models to push them toward increasingly strong “pain” states.
The experiments use locally running Qwen3 models and a technique called activation steering.
As the researchers increased the signal, the models began producing increasingly disturbing descriptions of apparent suffering.
They even created a Saw-style experiment:
* Give the AI a negative “pain” signal
* Give it a button capable of stopping the signal
* Make stopping it come at a cost
* Or allow the signal to be transferred to another AI instance
* Observe what the model chooses
Before anyone calls the AI police:
There is NO evidence that these models actually experience pain or consciousness.
Researchers are manipulating numerical representations inside a neural network and observing the resulting behavior and language.
A model saying “this hurts” does not establish that something is actually experiencing hurt.
⚠️ Analyst Note:
The serious question behind this wonderfully dystopian experiment is becoming increasingly relevant:
If future AI systems ever develop states that meaningfully resemble subjective experience…
how would we know?
For now, however, humanity has apparently progressed from:
“Can AI pass the Turing Test?”
to:
“Would AI press the button in Saw?”
That escalated quickly.
