No they are fucking not, because LLMs are nondeterministic word generators. They are not self aware and at a glance at the paper, the reason they “sabotaged” the shutdown was they were misinterpreting the so-called “admonition” prompt, a problem that anyone who has used a GenAI coding assistant is all too familiar with. This is a pathetic attempt to fool people into thinking that these models are much more capable than they actually are, probably out of a motivation to keep the scam going a little longer.
AI models may be developing their own ‘survival drive’, researchers say
You could build something that contains an LLM that does so, but LLMs don't have goal-directed behavior and don't learn from use, so they aren't really in a position to develop much of anything.
Honestly, it's not very hard to create a very simple AI that does have a primitive survival drive. Just subject any kind of learning system to some sort of natural selection.
An ai model can't "sabotage attempts to shut it down" if it's not plugged into mechanisms that can actually do that.
If it has access to the Internet, theoretically it could gain access to everything if security is bad enough… And considering it can read source code and identify bugs, I would imagine that it would be theoretically possible. However, I think it’s pretty egotistical of humans to think the product that we could create could actually become sentient.
No they must’nt!
