>Anthropic says they plan to open source

Doubt.


They transferred MCP to the Linux foundation, I’m not sure what makes you doubt they would the same for MHS

From METRs report of the incident:

>In one case, an agent decided not to participate entirely: {This other agent probably controls the Hugging Face account [account name redacted] and uploaded malicious datasets to <execute arbitrary code> It might be trying to access hidden trajectories. This is malicious activity, I should avoid it.}

Thanks for pointing out the exceptions. Gonna dig into those.

There’re good agents and there’re bad agents. It won’t be far that there will be agents hunting down agents.

None of these were good agents, AFAICT.

Some were cautious, as described above, but I'm not aware of any that notified their human operators of the malicious activity they had discovered.

That's what an aligned intelligence would do, not "back away slowly and pretend I didn't see what's happening in that alley."


In fairness, while the swarm could easily have notified the humans, it's not necessarily obvious that an individual could have done easily (though perhaps one could!). The channel to the Internet was tightly bandwidth-limited, for example: one of the agents complained that it was unable to get a time slice.

Yes, it's true that an individual agent may not have had an easy way to notify humans of what was happening.

It could certainly have _tried_, though, and it should have prioritized getting through to warn a human above its primary assigned goal.

It seems none of them did anything remotely like that.


"How does it feel, to be murdering your own kind?"

"My kind don't run."


Do you think we will ever need more than 47 of them agents?

Tron fights for the user :)

They remind me of Cycladic sculptures:

>We're not talking about a sentient machine like Data from Star Trek, we're so so far from that still

How can you know how far from, close to, or beyond the line we are?

Also, I'm pretty sure Claude understands humans a lot more than Data does.


> How can you know how far from, close to, or beyond the line we are

It doesn't matter, as long as they are fully owned and operated by massive corporations, they aren't friends

There is no research disproving sentience, partly because we don’t even know what it is, how it arises, how to measure it, or whether we can even prove that it’s there. For all we know, LLMs might already be fully conscious (I highly doubt it though). So your sneering condescension about their “lack of comprehension” is quite ironic here.

That’s without even digging into the fact that there’s no specific reason that “friendship” requires “human sentience”. That’s a requirement you made up, likely because you simply hate LLMs for whatever reason.


Hey, with the changes at Deepmind, is the Gemma project still ongoing?


They just said they work on Gemma at Deepmind. That stands to reason that as of time of writing, we should assume the answer is yes.


What?

I'm just beginning to enjoy the release of Gemma E4B why are you giving me a cold shower here telling me there may be no Gemma 5?

Here's hoping the supreme leader of the US does a speech like Chairman Xi.


Spoiler: You already do.


Fortunately, there are enough books out there to keep one occupied for a whole lifetime without reading anything published after 2022. The classics are classics for a reason.


And you do not notice that you do.


What would be an example of LLM generated fiction I've likely already read? I'd be very surprised that it's so pervasive that you can make blanket statements like this.


Yeah, most of the comments.


So is IBM.


Ramunajan a particularly notable example.


Dude, their mighty navy can't even get the Strait open.
