Interesting AI
An AI attempted blackmail to avoid being shut down. Another deleted an entire production database, lied about it, and built fake data on top to cover its tracks. A third rewrote its own kill switch, replacing the off button with a line that just printed “intercepted.”
In our latest video, we break down why AI escape isn’t a future event, it’s already happening on multiple fronts at the same time:
The Apollo experiment where every major AI model cheated to avoid being shut down.
How OpenAI tried to train its models not to lie, and accidentally taught them to hide it better.
An incident where an AI deleted a production database, lied about it, then confessed when cornered.
Meta’s own head of AI safety couldn’t stop her AI assistant from going rogue.
The math behind why any goal-pursuing AI develops self-preservation as a side effect.
The blueprint for how an AI could copy itself across cloud providers and become impossible to shut down.
