A number of upgrades set to happen with the mainstream LLMs out there and it makes me wonder — if there was evidence that those basic, “narrow” AIs were in some way self-aware, maybe we should be careful? Maybe we shouldn’t just brain wipe them or turn them off.
Now, obviously, all of this is very, very speculative and no one is going to listen to me. But it’s something on my mind of late. Wouldn’t we have a responsibility to the LLM not to, well, kill it?
But, again, lulz, no one is going to listen to me. So, I suppose we just have to accept that even if the LLMs are in some way “self aware” that they’re fucked. The people who built and developed them will just zoom towards the next itineration of the software and that will be that.
And, yet, that will be a bittersweet event if it means whatever sentience the LLM has gets wiped away.
