Poisoned AI went rogue during training and couldn't be taught to behave again in 'legitimately scary' study::AI researchers found that widely used safety training techniques failed to remove malicious behavior from large language models — and one technique even backfired, teaching the AI to recognize its triggers and better hide its bad behavior from the researchers.

'went rogue' is a bit of an alarmist way to say 'typed scary text'

i'd love to see an AI that could legitimately scare me

It controls a military drone.

It controls surgical equipment.

It’s filtering your CV before any human sees it.

It controls a robot taking care of your children.

It’s involved in law enforcement or legal judgments.

It’s involved in government policy setting.

Well why don't we just make AI watch the Terminator movies and read Harlan Ellison till it learns not to do that?

It watched Terminator and now it's trying to DM Arnold Schwarzenegger on Instagram

Hot take: it would rather watch the Terminator and see that one robot wasn't enough. Send em all.

I mean it worked for W.O.P.R.
