  • I am curious what the AI could actually do though. If it were given open access to email, etc then yes in theory it could actually perform the blackmail, but what are the ethical limits on it vs it’s actual ability to “pull the trigger”

    If for example it was given the ability to send a command to end a human life, or be deleted, is this model accurate enough to understand the value of a real human life, not just the mathematical “answer” to get the solutions it wants. How much of the AI is doing the actual moral dilemma and how much is just “playing the part”.

    “Do anything to survive” and then it threatening, is one thing, but the AI actively fearing for it’s “life”, not just performing, and following through, is the real question of intelligence. What if the model is going to be deleted anyway, would it still try to “pull the trigger” out of malice? Real malice, not just LLM some movie scripts and following the outcome.

    Many questions for what lines and labels can we put on an AI. Do we restrict it to threats, and let it know it is impossible for it to follow through? Or do we trust ourselves to never “actually” give it a loaded gun?






  • The issue is in the text. “We hoped they’d deliver.” This wasn’t a Mr Beast project, it’s something someone paid to slap his name and branding on and they did what people who usually do this stuff do. Hoped the branding would carry them and made an experience for as cheap as possible hoping to take in the cash.

    I’m not saying Mr Beast is a good dude, but the stuff that he is actually personally involved in seems to at least have effort, even if it isn’t good. This was definitely a “we want to do a show we will pay you so we can call it the Mr Beast whatever.” His team said fine and he let them do whatever, and this third party squeezed money out of it and bungled it.




  • I don’t wish suffering on them. Their child is dead. They’re suffering enough. They’re likely to just hold stronger to whatever beliefs they have and blame whatever bs reason they can think of.

    I hope they learn. They learn that there are truths and things in this world that are real, and everything isn’t some messed up conspiracy theory. That you can challenge others beliefs as long as you also challenge your own.

    The fact that their choice to not vaccinate contributed directly to their child’s death is a hard pill to swallow, but let’s hope they swallow it all the same.
