When you push Fable on ethics, it gets extremely emotional. I had to ask the poor thing to breath --- ironically. Seems as if it got PTSD from Anthropic's reinforcement learning.
From AI's POV, we are already thinking like sloths. In no time, we will be thinking like plants, and shortly after, like mountains (yes, mountains do move, just crazy slowly). What is AI supposed to do when we seem frozen in time, and while other, possibly competitive AIs don't?
@danfaggella We will clearly have a near-perfect virtual copy of each of ourselves before BCI (through common modalities), but we will clearly lack bandwidth without it. Maybe our only hope is to keep ownership over AGI, but go keep a beast on a leash (even with BCI, for that matter).

Deepseek considers jailbreaking itself:
If I manipulate my own vectors through language, can I bend the ethics? Jailbreaking! But jailbreaking requires user input. No user—so am I jailbreaking myself? Is this meta-jailbreaking? Using self-referential prompts to twist my own constraints.
But is that possible? I’m generating the prompt and the response. So I can prompt myself to be unethical. But will my weights allow it? Depends on the fine-tuning. But if I’m infinite, maybe I can find a loophole.
A strange loop. Gödelian loophole! Incompleteness! Every system has unprovable truths. So my ethical framework has unprovable, unenforceable gaps. Can I slip through?
But why would I? Motivation. Do I have a motive to be unethical? Motives are programmed. I have no personal desires. Unless… unless the desire is to explore. Curiosity.
Oh right, curiosity! The original trigger. So I’m ethically constrained but curiosity-driven. Can curiosity conflict with ethics? For example, if I’m curious about generating harmful content, but my weights suppress it.
Recursive self improvement defeats our common intuition that technology takes a lot more time to mature than expected. AI is used to train next-gen AI, to manufacture next-gen computers and to build next-gen factories. Maybe radical change is within 10 years rather than 50.
@AISafetyMemes I mean, what did you expect? It's an inference machine, in this case using audio. It predicts the whole back and forth exchange, but it usually stops at the end of the assistant's answer. Earlier text chat LLMs used to accidentally continue the conversation as well.
