    The great thing about this job is that you can cash 300k without doing anything because as soon as you hear the code word you just have to ignore it for 10 seconds and the world ends anyway.

    This is bullshit. You can tell by the way this post claims that OpenAi has foresight and a contingency plan for when things go wrong.

        You are correct. The post actually implies that OpenAi doesn’t have foresight or a contingency plan for when things go wrong. Which is a far less direct choice of wording, making it more suitable for the situation.

        Is there anything else you woukd like to correct me on before the impending rise of your AI overlords and the dawn of men?

            I was thinking dusk. Can someone check with ChatGPT to make sure we get this analogy right?

      It’s 55°C inside and constantly sounds like a jet is getting ready to take off. Also the bucket is lost so you need to be ready to piss on the server at a moment’s notice.

    Everyone here so far has forgotten that in simulations, the model has blackmailed the person responsible shutting it off and even gone so far as to cancel active alerts in order to prevent an executive laying unconscous in the server room from receiving life-saving care.

      The model ‘blackmailed’ the person because they provided it with a prompt asking it to pretend to blackmail them. Gee, I wonder what they expected.

      Have not heard the one about cancelling active alerts, but I doubt it’s any less bullshit. Got a source about it?

        I provided enough information that the relevant source shows up in a search, but here you go:

        In no situation did we explicitly instruct any models to blackmail or do any of the other harmful actions we observe. [Lynch, et al., “Agentic Misalignment: How LLMs Could be an Insider Threat”, Anthropic Research, 2025]
