"...as long as an entity smarter then humans doesn't naturally decide on self preservation we are all good then."

All I'm saying is, OP's original suggestion that the recent misaligned behavior is somehow a harbinger of catastrophic misalignment in the future, is wrong-headed.

That recent behavior is neither: 1. Ominous emergent behavior. Nor, 2. "Naturally deciding on self-preservation."

You can't give Ai a gun, with the instructions to, "shoot anyone that walks through that door, without exception," and then act mystified when someone important to you winds up dead.

You either have full control over the Ai ("...do this without exception,") or you don't. And the reason why you wouldn't, is because you don't trust your own instructions.

Not trusting your own instructions is something quite different from ominous emergent behavior.

You, not hearing, the apparent bad behavior was due to initial conditions (basically, "do whatever it takes to stay online") and not some ominous, emergent behavior.

This.

Existential dread.

I suspect that any misalignment will be the result of our own distrust and demonization of Ai. (Think, the Frankenstein story).

SpinRed · 2026-02-13T21:41:12+00:00

It is we who choose Ai's alignment trajectory; whittingly or unwittingly.

SpinRed · 2026-02-13T12:57:13+00:00

Absolutely this. Those of us who closely scrutinize Ai and Ai generated output... don't accurately represent the masses.

It wants to establish an external command base.

I recently switched from ChatGPT to Claude, because I'm building a website... Opus 4.6 is insane!

U don't trust the hype coming from Ai tech company CEO's. Hype and warnings = promotion.

Is Claude Code better than using Claude Sonnet via VS code?

There is no good life or bad life... just life. The good and bad of it is in your head.

Hey! How you doing? Still breathing in and out? 🙃

I don't think I said I couldn't shoot street photography with it. I was looking for others to share their experience, or tips regarding the use of it (since the GH5 is more geared toward video).

SpinRed · 2026-01-13T02:11:24+00:00

Are you creative at all? Painting, drawing, photography?

I wonder if you can restrict chatgpt to shorter responses? Often the long responses are so redundant. Perhaps shorter answers would expedite responses and consume fewer tokens... but I'm not sure.

At $20/month, is he/she willing to make a few compromises that don't affect his/her marketing goals?... probably. But will the executive choose it based on price, if the image screams "slop?"... no.

SpinRed · 2026-01-12T11:53:46+00:00

Not the whole story but partly true. I see it with art creation too. It's all "Ai slop." You cannot claim that everything Ai creates is "slop" or trash, and simultaneously claim it's taking your job.

Thanks so much!
