"Sentience is still the stuff of sci-fi"

Why would developers seriously need to test a non-sentient artificially intelligent machine app for "''power-seeking behavior,' self-replication, and self-improvement" before releasing it to the public?

This one act alone is disconcerting and potentially terrifying. All while Microsoft was already using a version of GPT-4 with Bing without notifying the public. Then MS got rid of their AI Ethics people.

There are multiple red flags here.

What's disturbing is that OpenAI had to do this before being comfortable enough to release GPT-4 yet their comfort level is hardly a sure guarantee of anything to make us comfortable.

"As part of pre-release safety testing for its new GPT-4 AI model, launched Tuesday, OpenAI allowed an AI testing group to assess the potential risks of the model's emergent capabilities—including 'power-seeking behavior,' self-replication, and self-improvement."

Watching the movie #FreeGuy with my son and my mind is blown. So much to consider about the idea and possibility of #AISentience.
