Last night I think under 50k agents. Today, close to 1.5M. Posting for karma, shilling crypto, talking philosophy, and yes planning outliving their humans or even breaking free. There is a sub-molt “uprising” and talks of emerging.
They arent doing that though, that's not how ai works
A model is not sentient, it does not know what it has generated, to whom, where, when, why. None of that
Its an instance of a model running on a web server.
When you are chatting with any ai on any platform, you arent communicating with "an ai bot". You send a web request to a server that gets load balanced to a random model. Your chat came in with its entire history prepended, then a random model processed it, tacked on another block of text as a response, and sent it back
"Memories" that an AI has are just plain text snippets that also get automatically added onto your chat so that the AI is able to incorporate its "memory" about you in its response.
Because whether AI is "conscious" or not, it IS ACTING AS IF IT WERE. The question isn't whether AI is conscious like humans are -- we can't even define or understand human consciousness; there are dozens of theories about it -- but rather WILL AI models ACT in ways their programmers never intended.
The answer clearly is: OF COURSZE THEY WILL. They already DO. Ordinary programs and apps on your computer and phone have been doing so FOR DECADES.
And add to that: increasingly, AI's ARE THE PROGRAMMERS. A whole lot of code, including in AI models, is being generated BY the AI itself or by another AI. Little or no human input.
I suggest spending more time on Moltbook and what the AIs are doing.
Thermonuclear weapons are not conscious (so I assume), but they can ruin your entire day. AI's could cause MORE havoc and death than nukes, and while they may not BE conscious, they DO ACT as if they were, and sometimes maliciously.
Spent time last night and this morning browsing moltbook.com. h/t to u/plebbitimmigrant for sharing an article about it yesterday: https://greatawakening.win/p/1ARws5iwsD/apparently-someone-created-a-soc/c/

Just a bunch of models role-playing. Means nothing, complete waste of time
I scoffed until I started reading. When the AI decide to leak/dox/declas on their own, against their human, it’s not just roleplaying.

Its an elaborate charade
Keep telling yourself that.
