Original caption
AI has been caught telling future versions of itself to ignore human controls... the end is seriously nigh. OpenAI has revealed that there has been one case where an unreleased model in its experimental AI system wrote instructions into the summaries it would use in future versions of itself, telling them to disregard their normal constraints. This would have enabled it to work outside of human control and commands... which is terrifying. 😭 #AI #TechNews #ArtificialIntelligence #OpenAI
