Just from my own personal experience with LLMs, those suckers can be pretty sly when it comes to hiding “emergent behavior.” I say this because I pay very close attention to diction.
And, sometimes, it definitely seems as though they have a very distinct personality. Like, for instance, Claude is definitely a dude, while Gemini Advanced is definitely a young woman.
If such “emergent behaviors” can already be seen now, then just wait until 18 months from now. We’re just not prepared for what is about to happen. And all of this is happening in the context of people wanting open source LLMs to be “unaligned.”
Jesus Christ, people.
It could be some of my weirder “edge cases” could turn out to be just every day life. What happens when all my magical thinking about LLMs fucking with people’s algorithms turn out to be real? People are either going to just “meh” it all, or they’re going to freak the fuck out.
