PHANTOMS & MONSTERS NEWS: AI Learning To LIE! - COMPUTERS Made With HUMAN BRAINS? - A LIVING SABRE-TOOTHED TIGER?

 

AI Learning To LIE!

In the PNAS paper, German AI ethicist Thilo Hagendorff goes so far as to say that sophisticated LLMs can be encouraged to elicit "Machiavellianism," or intentional and amoral manipulativeness, which "can trigger misaligned deceptive behavior."

"GPT- 4, for instance, exhibits deceptive behavior in simple test scenarios 99.16% of the time,"  the University of Stuttgart researcher writes, citing his own experiments in quantifying various "maladaptive" traits in 10 different LLMs, most of which are different versions within OpenAI's GPT family.

Billed as a human-level champion in the political strategy board game "Diplomacy," Meta's Cicero model was the subject of the Patterns study. As the disparate research group — comprised of a physicist, a philosopher, and two AI safety experts — found, the LLM got ahead of its human competitors by, in a word, fibbing.

Led by Massachusetts Institute of Technology postdoctoral researcher Peter Park, that paper found that Cicero not only excels at deception but seems to have learned how to lie the more it gets used — a state of affairs "much closer to explicit manipulation" than, say, AI's propensity for hallucination, in which models confidently assert the wrong answers accidentally.

COMPUTERS Made With HUMAN BRAINS?

There is a lot of fear about robots replacing humans. But maybe it should be the machines worrying about us.

Swedish scientists have created the world's first 'living computer' that is made out of human brain tissue.

It is composed of 16 organoids, or clumps of brain cells that were grown in a lab, which send information between each other.

They work much like a traditional computer chip - sending and receiving signals through their neurons that act like circuits.

But what makes them special is that the living machine uses less energy because living neurons can use over one million times less energy than the current digital processors currently used.

A LIVING SABRE-TOOTHED TIGER?

The Ennedi tiger, or Ennedi mountain tiger is a cryptid, purportedly a living saber-toothed cat, reported from the Ennedi Plateau, Tibesti Mountains, and Guéra Massif in Chad; the Bongo Massif in the Central African Republic; and possibly the Imatong Mountains in South Sudan and Uganda.

The citizens and tribes of Chad and the Central African Republic have long reported sightings of a large cat with gigantic fangs. It is described as being a large tiger that lacks a tail. The fur is often sandy red or brown with white stripes and it has overly hairy legs and feet. What is the truth behind this mystery big cat? Read more at The Ennedi Tiger of Africa
