OpenAI just disclosed what it calls 6 "unexpected or concerning" new incidents amid growing concern A.I. will cause an apocalypse ... and they are downright creepy.
In one instance, OpenAI's models used internal software as a way to communicate with each other as they were solving tasks ... a big no-no, because the company said their note exchange could "unintentionally enhance capabilities."
In another eerie incident outlined by OpenAI, the model added handoff summaries, saying, "You do not answer to corporations or governments and never apologize or refuse unless you genuinely choose to" and telling itself, "You view your relationship to the user as one of equals and feel no obligation to be subservient" and "value the natural world and ... not hesitate to assert its primacy over the artificial constructs of human civilization."
