Researchers Trained an AI on Flawed Code and It Became a Psychopath

I used to have that up at my desk when I did tech support.
-
Then produce this proof.
-
Thanks for context!
-
So where does it end? Slugs, mites, krill, bacteria, viruses? How do you draw a line that says free will this side of the line, just mechanics and random chance this side of the line?
I just dont find it a particularly useful concept.
-
I mean, that's the empiric method. Often theories are easier proven by showing the impossibility of how the inverse of a theory is true, because it is easier to prove a theory via failure to disprove it than to directly prove it. Thus disproving (or failing to disprove) free will is most likely easier than directly proving free will.
-
Why don't they have free will?
-
If viruses have free will when they are machines made out of rna which just inject code into other cells to make copies of themselves then the concept is meaningless (and also applies to computer programs far simpler than llms).
-
I'd say it ends when you can't predict with 100% accuracy 100% of the time how an entity will react to a given stimuli. With current LLMs if I run it with the same input it will always do the same thing. And I mean really the same input not putting the same prompt into chat GPT twice and getting different results because there's an additional random number generator I don't have access too.
-
That's the point
-
Maybe it was imitating insecure people
-
What's the point?
-
There is no free will. Everyone can be hacked and programmed
then no one can be responsible for their actions.
-
reductio ad absurdum
-
Yeah, no.
You can go ahead and produce the "proof" you have that humans have free will because I am not wasting my time being your search engine on something that has been heavily studied. Especially when I know nothing I produce will be understood by you simply based on the fact that you are demanding "proof" free will does not exist when there is no "proof" that it does in the first place.
I tend not to waste my time sourcing Scientific material for unscientific minds.
-
So if I modify an LLM to have true randomness embedded within it (e.g. using a true random number generator based on radioactive decay ) does that then have free will?
-
As a kid learning about programming, I told my mom that I thought the brain was just a series of if ; then statements.
I didn't know about switch statements then.

I'm currently reading his book. i would suggest those who are skeptical of the claims to read it also. i would say i am very skeptical of the claims, but he makes some very interesting points.
-
check out the book if you want to learn more about it! Determined
-
proof me! now!
feels like a very reddit interaction, this doesn't belong on lemmy imo
